Best explanation I've seen of why the Paradox of Tolerance is no paradox at all.

#philosophy

@shacker #Alt4You to copy/paste edit

The Paradox of tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.

If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.

In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.

Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

@forschungstorte Thank you, added! Hopefully someday my Masto client Ivory will support Alt text during posting.

@shacker @forschungstorte Wow, it doesn’t? That’s unconscionable. What’s the deal, @ivory?

(I just downloaded the app to test but I’m not going to subscribe just to see whether or not it allows accessible toots or not as posting is a premium feature.)

PS. Thanks for adding the alt text in. Will boost now.

@aral @shacker @forschungstorte We support adding alt text in posts. We have since the beginning.
@ivory @aral @shacker @forschungstorte I can definitely confirm that this work in #Ivory since the beginning. Using it all the time ... find it quite conveniently implemented actually.
@maxheadroom @ivory @aral @forschungstorte This is the entirety of the provided UI, with no option to add alt text during posting from the share sheet.
@aral it does. Scot just had trouble separating “doesn’t do it” and “doesn’t do it the way I want”
