Promoting self hosting of course. Most of my stuff runs out of my living room
but that's not the only option: You can also use the stuff of your friends
(in this case, Mastodon.)
Ah okay, well that makes sense. I am curious though why you had that domain
in your email. at all...
But yeah, it is fascinating to me.
Yes it's his domain name. He's a good friend of mine. I am not him. And he is
not me. We are, in fact, two different and completely separate people. :)
Jxself isn't bobcall.me the email for RISC-ATOM the person who maintains
librecmc?
Are you really him?
Just wondering.

Find an instance that allows public sign-ups, then create an account there
just like you would for any other web service.

There are lists here that tell you which ones allow public sign-ups:
How do you create a GNU Social account? And what server to choose?
I noticed when I searched for @davidpgil from my new Mastodon account that
you also have/ had accounts on mastodon.social and a.weirder.earth. Do you
still use those? What was the UX like on those instances compared to
chaos.social?

The captcha system you describe is gOgle Re-Captcha:

It's the most common captch system I come across, so much so that a lot of
people seem to think that's what a captcha *is*. There are a number of other
captcha systems like Akismet, which don't depend on

I read the article, and the ideas do seem like they could replace CAPTCHAs in
sign-up forms indented to prevent spam, but these are the least annoying kind
of CAPTCHAs. Barring
