This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The captcha with the checkbox tracks a lots of items like mouse movement, browsing history etc. Full list is not public but they use all their spying tools on that one

I always had the impression that only checks for ddos and bot activity. Might be wrong tho.

The entire point of a captcha is to stop bots, so a Turnstile verification stopping bots would qualify
