I was tracking the Race for Captchas in 0.18.0 and I’m pretty surprised how it went in the end.

Captchas have been restored by a PR shortly before release and almost immediately been removed again by reverting the PR. The PR author has been asked to re-create his PR and then 0.18.0 got released without Captchas.

massively increase according to the lemmy devs: https://lemmy.ml/post/1216911

FYI, I needed to drop all cached files from lemmy.world in chrome afterwards. Otherwise clicking on the top right profile button would shift the entire page down.
