Friendly reminder that if you post images without alt-text, I won't see them, which means I won't boost them or leave cute replies either 😞

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

@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.

@KeithWM

haha, now you'll find out what it's like

@alice Thank you, I shall investigate that

@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)...

@Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it @alice@lgbtqia.space @nieuemma@mastodon.de "with vim inspired keys" great, now I'm just gonna post :wq all the time

[keithwm@mastodon.social]

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