Originally I was shying away from this because of how invasive it can feel and how badly people might react, but numerous people today have actually been asking for it, so I'm going to look into adding it. If it gets a terrible backlash, perhaps it can be rethought, but something like it would be a requirement for enabling nsfw content anyway because of the eSafety laws, so perhaps it can be three birds with one stone, verifying the person is a real human, gating mature content and fighting bots.
Some people will definitely not like it, but I am more of the mind that if you are gonna have to do it, at least try to do it right.
It is probably more expensive to do a serious check but it would allow the platform to be advertised as a human only platform.
Something i feel it going to be more desired as bots take over normal social media and you cant trust you are talking to a real person anymore, plus the fact that all the interaction statistics kinda become irrelevant when inflated by bot numbers.
