Hmm, I don't get any captcha in the registration form. Or does it occur
only after submitting the form (I did not go that far)? But the site is
behind the very popular Anubis[1] that "weights the soul of your
connection" - however I believe "soul weighting" is only possible if you
have Javascript enabled. Perhaps you get worse treatment without JS.
I fully agree that restricting freely accessible information with a
registration requirement goes against the spirit of Debian. I also hate
captchas with passion, but I suppose you need to compromise with LLM
robots going wild.
