This image has been appropriated by the Better Image Description Brigade.
(and yes I made a special effort for the special image, but the version I saw just had the text on the poster. Didn't say that it was a poster, or anything else at all.)
@bright_helpings
Shitty alt-text is worse than no alt-text, IMO.
@Crispius It definitely feels more hostile to me as someone who relies on images being described. It reminds me that some people think that either I don't really exist or don't matter top much; they're writing the minimum possible to get us "won't boost without description" types to boost it.
@bright_helpings
Yeah, that’s how I see it as well: some people just throw some half-assed text on an image to circumvent the β€˜no text, no boost’ convention, hoping that no one will check and basically saying FU to folks that rely on it.

@Crispius @bright_helpings nope, especially not AI slop.

Absence of alt text is a signal for others to come forward with suggestions.

@bright_helpings I can't see this image enough. If my mom was still around, she'd be out there with us, mobility issues be damned.

@bright_helpings

It's so sad that people who did fight back then should ever have the need to do so again
