Post inspired by the bot threat that people on Lemmy have been talking about. I’m not asking how an expert would design it, but how you would design it if you were tasked with it.

    So, how will you treat screen readers? Will they see that question? If you hide it from screen readers as well, what’s stopping bots from pretending to be screen readers when scraping your page? Hell, it’ll likely be easier on the bot devs to make them work that way and I assume there are already some out there that do.

      That’s an excellent question and I’m glad you raised it. I need to care more about accessibility and learn more about security in general :)
