finally, Wendell Berry's standards for technological innovation--truly as relevant now as they were in 1987 #othernetworks
@loriemerson 10. Never post an image/screenshot if you can type the same in plain text.
@aakoskin how about you use alt text in your own posts lmao
@DrJLecter Thanks for advice, but none of my posts rely on the attached image content, so alt text is irrelevant for me and same for the reader.
@aakoskin @DrJLecter Some of us struggle to know that without alt text to convey it, alas.
@aakoskin @DrJLecter If the image is so irrelevant — why attach one?

@Mabande @DrJLecter "If the image is so irrelevant — why attach one?"

That's a very good question.

Possibily the reason is that earlier platforms like Twitter rewarded such posts, and also if you have a picture it gets people's attention in their feeds.

Personally I would like text-only Internet, like it used to be. Maybe I should try posting without any pictures, and see if it makes any difference.
