If the Twitter/X thing teaches you one thing, let it be this: Twitter was a neoliberal place. Then Elon Musk made it into X, a fascist place. Once again, neoliberalism laid the foundations of fascism. But that’s not the (whole) lesson… Neoliberal folks are still using X, calling it Twitter to make themselves feel better, and pining for the good old days. And there’s the real lesson: When neoliberalism turns into fascism, neoliberals will adapt to life under fascism. Right, class dismissed.

Here you go.
Had to put the alt text text in another image for you to copy. Otherwise the text is too long for a toot.
The image here is actually empty.

@manu @Taco_lad That is such a good idea (using an empty image – or, I guess, the image itself in a reply). I dread having to make threads of alt-text when it’s too long. Will use this technique from now on :)

@aral @manu @Taco_lad
Yes, that's a great idea!

I have just used this on another toot I've come across and sent it only to the addressee instead of making it public. Doesn't need to be boosted, does it?

CW - I had considered marking it so, but if only the recipient can see my reply, it is not really necessary.

@cihi1970 @aral @Taco_lad
Don't know if I entirely get what you're saying, but if you want to share the trick, feel free to do so!

Maybe not my toot though because the content might not be the nicest for everyone (because of the gore, not the politics).

Wenn man einen Tröt schreibt, kann der mit verschiedenen Labeln gekennzeichnet werden (meist ein Pulldown-Menü oben rechts). Es gibt "Öffentlich", "Nicht gelistet", "Nur Follower" und "Nur erwähnte Profile". Letzteres meinte ich in meiner Erklärung.

Bin auch kein Native Speaker was Englisch angeht, hoffe, die verstehen, was ich meine.
