@hj then why even post alt text if it’s just gonna be the filename and no useful data

@reinhilde because filenames are fun but a bit underdeveloped in pleroma

@hj consider adding “ - kinda smiling/grimacing white guy in a three piece, with a floating firearm pressed to his temple.” to the alt in that specific pic

@reinhilde that would break the "filename" most likely so no. Your reply is enough. Plus we have AI to do image descriptions nowadays which is a far better tool for accessibility.

Right now alt text and "filename" are intertwined and i indend on separating them but i'm not very good at backend/elixir so it's gonna take a while until i find the courage to do so or someone else to do it for me.

@hj @reinhilde tell me that you've never used a screenreader in your life without telling me that

@hj @reinhilde like the subtext here is that you're so into the Aesthetic of Computer that you're deliberately being a shithead to blind people, who i guess should just not interact with anything you post (which, i mean, now that i think about it, is a win-win given your attitude here).

@alexandria @reinhilde blind people can just ASK. Your 𝕔𝕠𝕠𝕝 𝕦𝕟𝕚𝕔𝕠𝕕𝕖 "𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘", ASCII art and "sprite text emoji" do far worse than images without alt text or with wrong alt text. And we try to support accessibility at UI level and even pleroma themes have WCAG contrast rating support/display as well as automatic text contrast support, a thing that nobody really does.

So please, without further interruption, gouge your eyes out so that you can know and tell what it's like to use technology while visually impaired instead of whiteknighting and attempting to guilt-trip people who care.

@hj @reinhilde I literally have used the technology while unable to see (it sucks), and I have never used "cool unicode formatting", "ascii art" or "sprite text emoji" precisely because they are ass in a screenreader lmfao

@hj @reinhilde its not difficult to be a considerate human being but you seem to be hitting your knees on the bar nonetheless

@alexandria @reinhilde it's not difficult, yes. You can ask for what it's in the image and I will reply.

@hj @reinhilde @alexandria what if they feel awkward to ask in the first place? :neofox_googly_shocked:

@a1ba @reinhilde @alexandria there's so much disability we can account for. What if someone is blind, deaf, mute, quadruple amputee, autistic, with dwarfism syndrome and down syndrome? "Can you stop being a shithead to blind, deaf, mute, quadruple amputee, autistic, with dwarfism syndrome and down syndrome it's not difficult to be a considerate human being"

@hj @reinhilde @alexandria while it's a generic problem, having a media description is still good. For example, having a slow internet connection. Which is true for most mobile devices.

@a1ba @reinhilde @alexandria i am not against it, it's just a technological issue right now.

@hj @reinhilde @a1ba when someone asked you to provide alt text on your images you sent back a picture of a man with a gun aimed at his head with non-relevant alt-text, you also have repeatedly doubled down on your position, so it is difficult to see how you could possibly support it

@hj @reinhilde @a1ba Like my takeaway from this thread is that one of the pleroma developers is incredibly hostile to blind people existing on the fediverse

@alexandria @reinhilde @a1ba don't worry, we have one dev who is extremely friendly towards blind people on fediverse and I'm grateful she's on our team - @tusooa
