this happened yesterday but i'm not trying to subtoot anyone in particular, it's just a thing that happens sometimes

i wish i could talk about pokemon training and battles and stuff on here without people in my mentions telling me that it's fucked up because it's dogfighting

like, yes, of all the "let's take this children's thing and make it dark and edgy" theories, it's by far the most convincing one. in fact, you need to go pretty far out of your way for it to not be the natural conclusion you come to

but the games and anime repeatedly make the point that this is a misunderstanding. the pokemon want to do this just as much as the trainer does. it's canon in the games that the whole reason pokemon attack trainers with pokemon stronger than they are is to be caught and trained and fight

and if you're currently thinking "this sounds like a justification that the humans came up with to justify pokemon trainers": you're right! it does sound like that! but i choose to believe that it's not because this is something that makes me happy. i headcanon the best of all possible worlds because i want it to be a fun wholesome thing. and every time someone tells me it's bloodsport i have to come down from my pokemon-induced good mood and explain the deal to them

and it's a silly thing to be upset about. i don't have to be bummed out by someone else saying that pokemon battles are dogfighitng. and yet, here i am bitching about it when it hasn't even happened today, i just happened to think of it

Ah, I see my rival has been through here

I’m happy to announce that https://donphan.social’s registrations are open (without manual approval) again ​

#MastoDev

The roadmap is:

- getting it to actually work
- add a message when the form fails when the captcha hasn't passed
- make it look nicer by centering the captcha relative to the forms

When that's done I'll push it to donphan.social

After this I'll try to make it into a toggle that can be enabled or disabled, document the variables somewhere, and maybe I'll make it into a pull request to glitch-soc if they want it

The hCaptcha gem is forked from the reCAPTCHA one, and works in an identical way, so if one would like for some reason to use the latter, it would be pretty easy to adapt.

If you wanna test it out on your end, you have to set the HCAPTCHA_SITE_KEY and HCAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY variables in your .env.production file

My server is highly targeted by automated spam signups. I've been countering that by having manually approved registrations, but that's not a situation I like.

I'm trying to implement hCaptcha (a better alternative privacy-wise to Google's reCAPTCHA) on my server. The current state is that the form always gets rejected and there's no error message for failing to validate it. Check it out if you're interested or wanna help out https://github.com/Siphonay/mastodon/tree/hcaptcha
