狐ヴィクシーSomething that always makes me feel depressed and disparaged on #fediverse is the amount of times I've seen highly visible accounts act like #alttext enforcers, even making it their policy to not boost a post that lacks it. Heck I think I even recall someone mentioning a fediverse starter pack which blacklists people who don't use alt text.
There are people who have legitimate difficulty in articulating what they see in an image into words, due to English being a second language or disability. For some people, the point is to communicate with images because they can't express what they have to say in words. There are also people with physical disabilities which can make typing harder or tiring.
By excluding us you are practicing #ableism, disparaging and making the fediverse hostile and unwelcoming to people who already have difficulties in our participation and you are silencing our voices just because there are a few people who can't hear our image posts.
And the worst part is you all say it's to accommodate people with disabilities.

«It's Okay to Not Be Okay», a P-drama premiere reaction | JC John Sese Cuneta 사요한 謝雪矢 🦋
Wow. It's Okay to Not Be Okay official poster And I will say it again, wow. Episodes 1 and 2 were, in one word, awesome. Growing up in the Philippines, I have seen P-drama productions swing wildly from 'embarrassingly bad' to 'painfully laughable', but this? This passed my standards. Easily. I ra...

When I was growing up, I remember how much I was infantilised so much esp in terms of not being able to do what neurotypical kids were able to do like go to sleep overs at friends houses, not allowed to go to friends house on my own, not allowed to walk to school on my own, not allow to get a shower on my own (cuz apparently I could not do it right) not allowed to have my own bank account (until I demanded my dad to revoke the ownership of my account to me) and also requiring teaching assistants everywhere and given easy school work (despite being more capable of doing work neurotypicals do AND I HAD TO DEMAND TO TEACHERS THAT I COULD DO SUCH WORK) etc etc
All cuz I was deemed “special needs” aka too incapable of doing things “normal people” can and therefore I wasn’t meant to have a life I have, cuz I was never meant to be independent, due to stigma I’ve faced not cuz of other but by how my own people, supposed “my family” were meant to care for me, yet did far more harm in general.
I remember the bullying I received and being called “retarded” very often and how much it hurt so much, I didn’t even tell my next school, that I had autism cuz I was so ashamed of it due to the trauma I had with it and I remember just wanting to like get rid of it so bad, I was doing anything to get rid of
When I realised this now, and I think about the problematic things I did and wild things I did in the past. It just makes sense. No wonder I was completely out of control, cuz of how people have poorly treated me and I was acting out as a way to gain control of my shitty surroundings and myself.
We need to stop treating people who have disabilities and invisible disabilities as if they aren’t capable of anything, cuz honestly we are far more capable than you think and the more restrictions and discrimination we face, the more trauma and resentment it will bring, which harms future generations too.
And also stop fucking babying us as if we don’t know shit either.
I’m sick and tired of it.

Ricky BuchananReading books featuring professional athletes is wild, it seems like (at least for the time they are professionals) their bodies do what they tell them to, more or less
My body never came with this feature enabled 🤷🏻
It’s kind of like reading about aliens
