A bunch of atoms that are curious about the world, but furious about the society. We should help all humans to have a decent life without any strings attached, so that we can understand us, the atoms, and the rest of the universe. And create a smarter and saner society.

The contact form from tromsite.com/contact/ has been restored to the original one. The new one was kinda shitty and flagged most emails as spam. So we would not get any email....the weird thing is that, believe it or not, it is damn impossible to find a good, simple and non-google integrated contact form for WP. This is crazy.

Why does this google shit has to be everywhere? Its crazy how ubiquitous these tech giants are, its almost getting to the point where we can't properly function in society without having one of their accounts!

For contact forms it is this recaptcha spam filter that is owned by google and it is used by the vast majority, almost all, contact wp plugins....they may do a good job at it, but they also inject trackers and collect data...

Most of the times you don't even need a recaptcha, I like how you guys just ask simple questions on all of your websites to filter out spam bots.

What websites? Because the contact forms we have are on tromsite.com/contact/ and my website tiotrom.com/contact/ - these use a smartish spam filter in the background. I wish I could find contact forms with simple question based spam filters....

Oh I meant the simple question based spam filter on directory.trade-free.org when you try to submit a new post, I thought you guys were using similar methods for all your websites.....

Are they spam bots ? If you want a more powerful captcha then maybe you can use this open source one - github.com/daniel-e/rust-captc…
I believe this is what @LemmyDev uses for account creation and stuff like that.

Probably spam bots....as for implementing that is not as easy ofc....not for me at least. I use WP for a reason: I won't code any website from scratch. I use plugins. I install, tweak, customize. That's my power. Not more than that :D
