Ah! So in #Mastalab, when you have an image attached to a toot, you can tap it to add #alttext for #visuallyimpaired and #blind people. Win! Now, it would be nice if the UI made this feature more obvious, or even nagged one to use it before posting..
@rysiek Yea, I only learned that this evening, it's very foresighted of the Mastodevs to include the feature. But an opt-out UX to encourage it directly would be nice, too.
@athetizer I'm trying to see the humour here, maybe I'm missing something
@cathal
are you visually impaired?
@athetizer Why would that be relevant?
It might make seeing problematic
@athetizer Didn't your bio say something about civil discourse? It seems you have a faulty image of yourself, because punching down on disabled people for cheap laughs is pretty un-civil, and immature besides. I suggest you work on that IN THE MUTE-MINES
goodness you have a chip on your shoulder
@cathal that's also the case in #mastodon
