Funny title as I have privacy concerns when it comes to cloudflare/hCaptcha as well.

What do people use these days as an open source (self hosted) alternative to recaptcha/hCaptcha that is accessible for people with disabilities?

Seems like FriendlyCaptcha [0] might tick the boxes. Here's the author talking about it [1].

FriendlyCaptcha is not even a captcha. It's just a client side rate limiter.

hCaptcha really doesn't care who you are, and has no incentive to do so. Pretty different economic model than an ad seller like Google.

People who build their own generally end up switching to a service like hCaptcha once they start getting attacked. Not a simple problem, as any solution you put in place needs to constantly evolve if you are protecting anything of value.

(disclosure: work there)
