  • This sounds like what TOR users run into. Are you always clearing your browsing data/cookies in Firefox? A fairly blank slate there will raise some red flags in a lot of systems causing the captchas to be aggressive.

    Otherwise, maybe you just ended up with a bad IP address that was previously being used for suspicious bot looking traffic?

    I would definitely submit a ticket to Etsy about this issue, but this is likely an issue with captcha or whatever they’re using to detect “suspicious activity”.

    Edit: I just tried logging in to Etsy and it gave me about 4 captchas for signing in with a “new device”.

    Looks like google really needs help training their self driving cars.





  • Not only that, your upvotes and downvotes are completely public.

    You might not see them through the lens of a Lemmy frontend, but using kbin you can see it.

    It’s something I wish I knew before I joined, but it is what it is and I’m getting used to it.

    Anyway, take care, and feel free to check-in every year or so to see if the user base has expanded to levels where its a better community. That or check out a different instance of Lemmy where there might be a community that better fits what you’re looking for.






  • You’re being a bit too selective here. Let’s be honest, there’s a lot more to making good tasting vegan meals than just rice and beans. In general I’ve found that eating vegan is more expensive than the equivalent alternative.

    If you want more people to eat vegan meals they also have to taste good, and you want to mix up your meals so you’re not eating the same thing every day.

    For burger equivalents any vegan meat alternative is more expensive than a regular burger (I’m really hoping that cultured meat can help turn this around).

    For meat alternatives seitan tastes awesome, but it’s way more expensive than most meat itself.

    Tofu tastes great when you know how to prepare it well, and that’s going to be closer to alternative meat prices.

    Egg alternatives are more expensive than eggs.

    For dairy alternatives, milk alternatives are more expensive than milk itself.

    Vegan butter is more expensive than regular butter. Vegan cheese is way more expensive than regular cheese (especially if you want it to actually taste good). Vegan yogurt is more expensive than regular yogurt. Vegan mayonnaise is way more expensive than regular mayo. Vegan ice cream is way more expensive than regular ice cream.
