⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

over-sensitive anti bot (lemmy.world)

Honestly, I just want to say that whatever change was made recently to the anti-bot verification is far too sensitive - I was pulling my hair out trying to get the image generator to pass verification, I completely turned off every single feature of my VPN, closed the VPN itself down entirely, tried downloading other browsers, etc, and still Perchance kept telling me that the anti-bot verification failed. Then, I fully uninstalled Nord VPN (which is not a viable solution, it's expensive and pretty much a necessity) and the anti-bot verification suddenly went through.

I can't just uninstall Nord VPN every time I decide to use the Image generator, but nothing else worked. Simply having a VPN installed on my computer shouldn't count me as a bot, if the VPN is disabled and every possible exception is made for Perchance.

Hi, new on the community but using Perchance generators for a while now. Don't know if this is the right place to post this but I see no related posts with more recent entries regarding this issue. Recently flagged with this Anti-bot and wondering when this might be sorted out so I can generate images again without limitations on realism and detail.

I've never had any VPN and am still getting that message. The only thing that works for me is deleting my history, and I HATE doing that because it signs me out of everything and I've lost all my prompts once because I forgot to back those up. There has to be another way.

Nord is trash. Spoofing locations, selling your data.

I had a week a while ago where I kept getting this message and couldnt gen antyhing, with no VPN at all. finally it just went away randomly. so I agree and cloudflare is the bane of the internet

I think it might be a coincidence. They might auto ban you with a time span and by the time you uninstall Nord you just happened to be free.
