I just thought the offer to translate the post stood on its own. sometimes it provides the most hilarious out-of-context salt. :]

Show threadaoeuidhtnsMay 12

@RueNahcMohr @[email protected]

i mean, alt text, as in the text that describes the image, so blind people know what the image is
it's also very good for people who have slow internet, looking using a text-based browser, or just have bad eyes

Show threadRue MohrMay 12

@aoeuidhtns @saagar

yes, I'm sorry I dont alt-text more, but its like writing internet articles that you put 10 hours into and then find out later nobody read it. I'v lost my hope, and I'm sorry.
