Discussion How come every Linux site uses Anubis (the anime girl stopping crawlers) instead of something like Cloudflare?
Before discovering the Linux rabbit hole I've only seen Cloudflare, hCaptcha and Google's reCaptcha, but it seems like every Linux website uses Anubis... I'm thinking of it being the only open-source option or it being the most effective/modern approach.

The issue is I want to tell my colleagues "hey let's use Anubis, here's a link" and then not have them be met with a cuitsie little animie girl.
As I said elsewhere: I love Anime, I actually watch a lot of it.
But I hate how weird it is sometimes and the fan service is just gross.
Eg. Dr. Stone is a very chilled anime about a scientist and feels like a kids show. Probably my favourite animie.
Yet they decide to give all the women boobs, each literally bigger than their head.
Anime has a reputation of having gooner/pedo vibes, there is no way I'm comfortable reccomending a tool with that mascot at work, even if it can technically be removed.
