    @alice Is that a filter ?

    I've tried setting up a filter to block images without alt text but never managed it

      @alice I like using Tut, which is terminal based mastodon that shows me alt text. I also have automatic image loading turned off in Moshidon. Alt text is nice for me too.

        @alice You haven't boosted anything else I've posted either, so why would I bother(!) #jk #AccessibilityMatters

            @alice for those of us who have a disability, and have difficulty with alt-text, may I suggest you follow: https://mastodon.social/@altbot@fuzzies.wtf

              @nieuemma @alice Similarly, on my phone I use Tusky. I have it configured to not automatically load images while on data, because with my phone plan I pay per-MB. So I read the alt text to see if I want to load an image. If there's no alt text, I just skip over the toot.

                @Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it @nieuemma@mastodon.de @alice@lgbtqia.space hmmm, now I'm wondering if my server is compatible with Tut (it's a Sharkey instance, not a masto one, so sometimes compatibility with Masto stuff is hit or miss)...

                    @eruonna So far it's quite enjoyable! But then again, most of Mastodon is.

                      @alice Your PSAs about alt-text β€” and the detailed alt-text you include in your posts β€” have nudged me to do a better job of it myself.
