@Saxophone3784 @NonPlayableClown and that's also totally ignoring the fact every fediverse server will just throw up it's hands trying trying to do the PoW check. Adding the ability for fediverse servers to do PoW as an anti-DDoS feature could become a vector for DoS attacks. Trannies would likely balk at any attempt to add such a feature, even with anti-DoS mitigations. Maybe it could potentially work given per-IP/per-domain throttles. Then again, making it easy for non-browser software to complete the hash might end up defeating the entire original purpose of the technique.

I wonder what @alex would say about the feasibility of adding such functionality.
