This evening @patrick informed me that the Drum has a 99.81% alt text hit rate. Just 18 out of 9492 toots were missing text at the time he checked. Happy with that. The denizens of the Mended Drum are alright, despite appearances. #AltText
PSA: if you think it's funny to joke dismissively about people asking you to use Alt-text, wake up to yourself. You're normalising bad netiquette and making people with disabilities the butt of your joke, so you just earned yourself a block
RE: https://beige.party/@geekysteven/116822857528620548 A reminder! Alt text not only means your stuff is going to get more shares, it also helps people to be able to know what you're posting. Be inclusive, use alt text. #UseAltText #alttex
