That sounds like your originating IP is linked to abuse, like accounts banned for ToS or botting. Slow-fade, harder captchas are another symptom of that (and could indicate Google/whatever-captcha-they-use also don't trust your IP). Is this over a VPN, Tor, or residential IP?
- stjohnswarts 6y agoThey are using an antiquated security and require capchas for VPN users. It's kind of lame. The IP ban should be removed after a day for abuse. It's an ignorant "security measure" and annoyance to users who also value a bit of privacy.
- ev1 6y agoIf you enable fingerprinting resistance/block their attempts to run a significant amount of privacy-violating JS, you risk permanent account lockouts. This includes non-VPN. You can get account lockouts for "suspicious" on standard, non-VPN IPs, without any recaptcha weirdness. They may also ask for ID or birthday or phone at any time. This is not something I want in a casual chat app.
