Let's talk about accessibility, asshattery and the Fediverse.
When I asked why people don't use the Fediverse, a few people mentioned they'd had bad experiences here because they hadn't included alt-text or didn't understand the culture and made a social faux pas.
There is a strong desire to protect this space where Queer and disabled folks are prioritised, that's really great. Unfortunately this can, IMO, result in an attack first ask questions later response.
@alexisbushnell That's awful! I always use alt text and encourage others to use it too. It doesn't have to be overly detailed or complicated either!
The one thing I've had the most difficulty doing alt text for is videos linked from places like YouTube, so sometimes I'll write a description in the text box.

On the subject of alt-txt, I kept this post, bcs it works for me...
@bytebro that would be super cool!
