The retro IM revival service Escargot Chat used to use that pain-in-the-ass piece of shit called hCaptcha. However, after some messages to the Escargot team, I'm pleased to report that they've launched a new account registration page, and it no longer uses HellCaptcha and now uses Turnstile! It's a small victory for #accessibility, but a victory none the less! I'll be revising my 2024 Escargot review shortly to reflect this development. We did it guys! Well, I did it mostly.

Here's my Escargot Chat review, which has been revised to reflect the recent change to the account system and removal of hCaptcha. https://reviews.seediffusion.cc/2024/08/27/hughes-reviews-nina-and-escargot/

@TwoThousandStu I can't believe this works. Now I get to use something that only my older brother got to use because he's sighted and we didn't even have a screen reader on the family computer.

@gocu54 @TwoThousandStu Hey there. I'm also connected to both services. Really neat stuff, I particularly like AIM for its personality. I'll probably donate here in like 7 months or so.

@gocu54 @TwoThousandStu Will it alert me when I receive a buddy request on AIM? I literally have no idea. I have it open.
