@stefan That's an interesting thread, as over the last few years I've seen common guidance for alt text push towards a "keep it simple" philosophy. Of course, there's a lot of nuance that often gets missed in those conversations, which the commenters address by talking about which images they want described in what way. I guess a lot of the time it's so hard to get people to do alt text *at all* that the "keep it simple" method works at a basic level to lower the barrier.

A great response to the hype around "AI" is more "people -powered, analogue tech". -
If people here really hate the very idea of reply-gating, maybe work on cultivating a reply culture that isn't fucking rancid.If people here really hate the very idea of reply-gating, maybe work on cultivating a reply culture that isn't fucking rancid.

dear other non-Black people,dear other non-Black people,
it is officially juneteenth in the US (and in a lot of other places too but it's a specific thing here)
if you feel the urge to be fucking weird in a Black person's mentions or to Black people in general (ever, but especially tomorrow), INSTEAD OF DOING THAT, maybe shut up and donate to or boost a Black person's mutual aid/crowdfunding post instead. also consider reading and listening. that would be a great way to celebrate and also to live your life in general. 1/
