discord, that is the wrong direction!

Discord. Good accessible solution for people that cant afford a team talk srever, or just don’t like it. Also it is mainstream, so it totaly must be good. But guess what i had to see today. I wanted to authorice a bot to join my discord server. So i got the window where i had to select a server and pressed next, then authorice. All norml. But suddenly, i heard: "dingding." A sound that i know from anticaptcha. I was thinking: "wth, this is recaptcha it does not solve that." Until my firefox started speaking. "widget containing the challenge frame." Or so, not exactly these words but ya get what i mean, the i hate you captcha (short hcaptcha) form. So yeah guys, discord has switched to hcaptcha. And in terms of accessibility that is not good at all. Just a short beep boop as discord would say, what do you think about this change? Do you also think its so problematic? But good to see discord doesn’t even need ms to break shit!

  1. Hating brave and using Chrome instead is a huge oxymoron, as Brave is literally Chrome with Tore and adblocker, but eh.

  2. I doubt that there are 7Million blind exclusive users that use brave everyday. There are about 45 Million blind users world wide, that’s like saying that 1/6 of all blind users use brave, which is quite the opposite as most blindies dispise brave and rather chrome.

  3. Holy shit. I never said we shouldn’t use screen readers, but isolated stuff such as isolated social sites for the blind, browsers which mostly the blinds know about because it’s super duper blind friendly and instead of 2 buttons you need to press only one, hooray.

  4. A) Brave is used by sighted people, and AFAIK there’s a huge GitHub organization for it.
    B) The reason we use different things is because we *need* them. Live your life without screen readers for a week and let me know how excepted you are by sighted people.

  5. That’s what I wanted to show by telling I’d ask them if they have ever heard of brave. We use so many things which only we know about, and yet we are wondering about why sighted people don’t accept us in their world.

  6. Brave is literally a Chrome fork with Tore and an ad blocker. I think Chrome instructions will apply to it just fine. In fact, I’ve used them before. While you’re at it, also ask them if they’ve heard of audio games, would ya?

  7. Ok, I’ll ask my sighted fellows around me if they know about it, I guess they won’t.

  8. And needless to say if you have a problem with Brave, noone will be able to help you, because it’s not that popular and supported. However, if you have problems with chrome, people will most likely find a solution for your question.

  9. Chrome or Brave, the debate is totally pointless as both are based on Chromium. So feel free to happily use Brave, it’s trendy nowadays, I know why. 🙂 Agree with hCaptcha and well, meh Discord. But I feel like they kind of care about accessibility so they might eventually reconsider this…

  10. Few things.
    A) any time you use the Google search engine, you are handing your data over to Google. Any time you use your phone, you’re handing your data to Google or Apple. Using Firefox, you’re handing your data to Mozilla, Google, and hell knows who else. Get over it.
    B) yeah no, this isn’t a firefox issue. Hcapcha is a piece of shit from all points.

  11. I dont think thats firefoxs fold. And no damnet be chrome, i can live with brave though.

  12. HCapcha is a curse to humanity. If you can’t see the images, you have to have them email you a link for a temp accessibility cookie that only works 1/12 of the time.
