    + Mastodon ist (nur) ein Teil des Fediverse
    + Friendica nutzen viele, wie auch meine @reparierecke
    + Alt-Texte sind wichtige Hilfen für blinde Menschen und auch, wenn Bilder nicht angezeigt werden können.
    + das Fediverse hat eine treffsicherere Reichweite als alle anderen sozialen Netzwerke, da hier kein Algorithmus Reichweite vorgaukelt. Wobei es aber nicht hauptsächlich die Reichweite ist, die hier wichtig ist.

  3. I've been thinking a lot about the #Fediverse ALT issue.

    Some people are annoyed by posts without #Alttext, & others get reminded¹ to add it.

    The core question is: How can we improve #accessibility?

    Proposal:
    ☑️ Add a user filter to hide media posts without #AltTag
    ☑️ Reduced engagement on hidden posts would encourage adding #Alt text
    ☑️ People who need accessibility wouldn't have to encounter unlabeled media

    If this gets traction, I'll open a #Mastodon GitHub issue.

  7. @randahl #AltTag the image is an MSNBC headline that reads "trump guilty on all counts" (in all capital letters) over a photo of a serious-looking trump. The photo is credited to "Seth Wenig / AP Pool"

  8. How are sites handling breaking news in #Russia?

    #Twitter: Low signal/noise (SNR) ratio
    #Mastodon: High SNR, no text search (must use hashtags)
    #BlueSky: No hashtags, poor search, difficult to assess SNR
    #Post #PostNews: Good topic (hashtag) search, high SNR, no #ALTtag

  10. @Radical_EgoCom hi, I thought I would try once more to ask you to add alt text to your images. It would really really help. #A11Y #Accessibility #Blind #AltTag #AltTags #ImageDescriptions

  11. @BookerTalk You can follow hastags you are interested in.

    Using hastags in your own posts helps others find you. Use #CamelCase (capitalise first letter of words in hashtag) #LikeThis

    Remember to #AltTag images.

    Boost (share/retweet) posts you find interesting.

    You can edit posts.

    @elk is a useful web interface to use. There are various apps to choose from too.

  13. Queste invece del Caravaggio è la Natività di Messina. C’è anche quella di Palermo, che tootto dopo. Questa scena malinconica e sgraziata mi pare consona al clima natalizio di quest’anno. Molto flop. Di questa, come dell’altra, mi intriga che non sapresti dire a colpo sicuro chi è Giuseppe. Ahaha. Non metto l’è mojo ridacchiante per non rovinare il clima culturale del toot. #Caravaggio #ALTtag #hollyjollychristmas

  14. Chiaramente la creatura, con quella sua faccia da scugnizzo napoletano (come l’angelo… tutti parenti!), non era figlio suo. Per questo Abramo sta col coltello pronto. Anzi, desideroso. #Caravaggio #Uffizi #ALTtag

  15. @potatogunkelly @thefeministedit @_RachelHandley I was trying to modify an Image that I added recently with the Web interface, but I don't found how to add the #alttag.
