toothpaste_sandwich@lhgmk2 Don't let the cynicism overtake your heart, my friend. I understand your views on alt texts, but at the same time, visually impaired people do exist.
JesteresseIch mache gerade Alt-Texte für eine Website.
Es geht auf der Seite gerade auch um Anti-Rassismus, sodass ich da gerne sehr korrekt wäre.
Weiß jemand von euch von einem Leitfaden, der mir da bei der Personenbeschreibung hilft?

good for you!
I suggest several #alttexts for your AI-generated images.
ALT: This AI-generated image shows that in this profile we don't care about inhumane working conditions in data centers in central Africa.
ALT: This AI-generated image shows that in this profile we're happy with the waste of water and energy to maintain computers that steal art and spit out mediocrity.
Kagan MacTane (he/him)For those who enjoy reading #AltTexts on images, and who used to hover over images to see them, be advised that Mastodon 4.4 has changed how you access them as a sighted/mouse-using user:
Just click the little "alt" badge in the bottom-right corner of the image.
🇨🇦Tom - Crinstam Camp🇨🇦over it, rarely actually use the same consideration they demand of me over #AltTexts, by not capitalizing their hashtags correctly, which makes screen readers, used by the same visually challenged people, that they claim they are supporting, by attacking me.
Another example that they arent actually concerned about the issue and are just virtue signalling.

Cairo Braga@dbattistella no, usually video #AltTexts are to describe what's visually happening, not what's being said.

¹ As in for example disability
² Which might already be happening anyway
I've noticed that some people can be unkind to those who did not add an alt text.
Some people don't know about it, some might not be able to, staying constructive & friendly is the best way to achieve more #alttexts :)

Yes, #AltText is essential for accessibility for visually impaired people, and should be strongly encouraged. But incompatible access needs are a thing. Not always having the spoons to write alt text is also an aspect of disability. So is not having the ability to write alt text at all. Not all of us are fluent writers, or even able to write text at all, either temporarily or permanently. Surely, if someone is only able to communicate in images, they should be allowed to post those images.

@kura @Natanox yes the edit post part is weirding me out.
I mean I know not every shitpost will get #AltText / #ImageDescription, but if the OP can't even edit & copypasta #AltTexts provided by someone in reply then that's really bad...
