And my new yahoo account can't join any groups :/
Can you only join one group per account?
Is there a possibility of asking ReCaptcha to disable their protection for Yahoo Groups? It's a reach I guess.
Recaptcha is the crappiest product Google makes, in my opinion. If they're as bad at detecting a human, they shouldn't even be trying. I can solve 10 puzzles correctly in a row and it's still thinks I'm not a human.
Thanks for helping us test our next CAPTCHA on HN, you’re getting closer. https://xkcd.com/810/
Some things I noticed about google re-captcha already. It can't tell the difference between a 3x3 matrix of a house and a bus, it doesn't know the difference between scooters and motorcycles, it has a margin of error on fire hydrants/usually the last image that it asks you to identify a fire hydrant in and fades out will not bring up another fire hydrant so you can click verify early.

I believe I read something on HN months ago that claimed Google would force failures on otherwise successful captchas. Little bit of gas-lighting if true.

How can I recognise services that intend to live forever? Meetup used to have reports and mailing lists but it went to a sinking company and is now a pointless SPA which doesnt let Firefox log in. I know a group that acquired several competing products, and they missed a crucial innovation which the indies had for a while.
