   Documentation for how to enable hCaptcha support on #Mastodon just dropped: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/captcha/

   Many thanks to @vmstan for taking the time to document this functionality!

     @JonnyT I am not saying it is THE solution, but if you want safer open registration, then it is _a option_ to help with that. It's something that exists today that makes open registration that bit safer.

     If you're running closed sign-ups or approval based sign-ups, you don't need hCAPTCHA.

     Like, I'm not posting about this to argue about it. Feel free to do a pull request to the documentation if you think it can be improved.

     @thisismissem @GossiTheDog @vmstan That doesn't excuse people from keeping on recommending it as a solution. It isn't one. Stop recommending it.

     @thisismissem @GossiTheDog @vmstan NB. hCAPTCHA is not accessible. Please read the real world experience of screen reader users as to why - here's a starting point:
