Awesome video by @notthebee (who you should follow) on why Mastodon will not replace Twitter (as Mastodon is trying to build something better).

I concur. Twitter is a very toxic place & Elon Musk firing thousands of contracted moderators will make the place extremely troll friendly.

I'm seeing a lot of new #retrocomp content recently, which is nice. Esepcially because I still have good eyesight

However, some of you people are still posting images of #retro stuff without an image description. Please stop that!!

There are a lot of people here on Mastodon who depend on these descriptions. Without them, they will not be able to put your toots into context.

👍​ So please, please, please: do provide image descriptions !! 👆​

You don't have to write long, detailed texts. If you post a photo of your favourite console, a simple "Photo of my Xbox One" will be enough for people with bad or no eyesight to understand what you are showing off. If it has a Pokémon Sticker on the front, you should mention that as well. Won't cost you a minute and makes a lot of people happy.

So once more, all togehter:

Please provide image descriptions! Thank you!

Mastodon está cheo de momentos como o do meu Boost anterior (o de bloquear threadunroll).

Admins que din "mira chato, isto non é Twitter" e deteñen de raiz situacións que consideran nocivas.

O momento "Esta peli xa a vin".

I see that @[email protected] has made it to Mastodon. I have suspended it from religion.masto.host, and will suspend any other content scraping bots I become aware of.

Thread readers scrape content without the consent of the creator, move it to a website outside of the creator's control, and sometimes monetise it, as discussed here:
