I’d like to know who’s mad about alt text

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

What is alt text ?

7fqx 2y ago

alt text is the description for visually impaired right? That confused me. Seems like they're fighting imaginary enemies on that one? Surely lol

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

Every website has alt text ?

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

Its often hidden or invisible in the html of the site , its for screen readers , what a bizarre comment to make .

nothenry 2y ago

Nah fuck the blind

nothenry 2y ago

Burcgravius 2y ago

Speak for yourself. I actively fight alt text everyday.

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

Do most sites have it ?

7fqx 2y ago

I think it's about the image descriptions for visually impaired users.

They are optional obviously and some people don't use / use bad descriptions.

That seems to be the issue.

(I looked into it further, I can't abide a mystery).

7fqx 2y ago

I think essentially, yes alt text is useful. I think what is really happening tho is that they actually miss combative social media, and have resorted to in-fighting about p much non-issues, whereas previously they had less in-fighting with their common enemies on twitter. That's my read of the 'drama'.

4f

Burcgravius 2y ago

Yeah, alt-text is descriptive text you can add to images so that those screen-reader programs can read it, but IIRC it's also used if the image can't or won't load for whatever reason. You can even add it to nostr.build - at least through #Amethyst I have.

Regarding why the fuck they'd rant against it, I think it's just one more way to virtue signal.

"Yes, I #AATTMI (Add Alt-Text To My Images) and if you can't be bothered to add alt-text to a shitty Pepe meme you're sharing you're actively blindophobe and thus I'm better than you"

"Yeah even if its utility is marginal to the widest range of users and adds a 150% overhead to your meme-sharing workflow"

7fqx 2y ago

Lol basically this.

Autumn Sun ☀️🌘☯️ 2y ago

You just described the whole "woke" movement in one sentence lol.😃

The Daniel ⚡️ 2y ago

I’m not even against any of the things in that list, but they called me a Nazi and blocked me just for talking about #bitcoin and the #Nostr.

Autumn Sun ☀️🌘☯️ 2y ago

I wouldn't say that I'm against them either, but they are a symptom of people that are personality disorderedvand end up causing drama.

Tetsu Tamasi 2y ago

LOL

[ARCHIVED] Jay 2y ago

I'd post a picture of a fat person with the alt text, "a photograph of a fat person" and get dinged for fatphobia.

Or maybe a picture of JK Rowling with "A reasonable, compassionate human being." And probably get death threats 😂

verbiricha 2y ago

their target audience is people with blue hair

tanel 2y ago

what's your political stance?

"karen"

7fqx 2y ago

Do you think so? How do you think they phrase it to themselves? 'progressives'?

Do you think it's all going to plan then, bluesky (besides jack maybe) are happy?

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

Happy isnt the word I'd choose . That does not sound like a joyful person.

7fqx 2y ago

Lol fair enough, but do they see BlueSky as a success story, they've attracted the right people, those people are growing in numbers and are blocking everyone, in-fighting lol, and that is all fine and dandy and going to plan.

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

Let me tell you something that I know for a fact : the type of behaviour on display here is self-limiting, you will attract a couple of bozos , it will grow to a certain size and stop .

There is going to be a cooler party down the road , where you don't need to be invited , it's got beer and girls and very little rules , and believe me , it's simple human nature that everyone will end up going to that party , rather than the one where you need to read a fucking rulebook before being allowed in .

7fqx 2y ago

The new nostr logo doesn't have alt text you fucking twat. 😡😡Get out my sight. Muted, blocked, reported to bluesky, emailed Jack, unfriended.

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

The alt text should read "abandon all hope ye who enter here"

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

They wont need the alt text once they get past limbo cause the souls of the damned will scream to let them know what floor they are on .

Oh, sorry. Forgot the alt text.

7fqx 2y ago

I just noticed it's an option:

7fqx 2y ago

I have no idea how you see it, but I added it to the pic above 🤔

Laeserin 2y ago

It's in the json (has to be), in the "r" tag.

[

"r",

"#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x1080&alt=You%27re+all+being+mean+to+me&blurhash=U8AKBylC00I9doJz%253aiDO9s%3FY-%3B%5Ejb_bMRl&x=ba124f474ea41cb5526bfeb8450eaa4e7c16a158963425f1e4bce406c853f880"

Autumn Sun ☀️🌘☯️ 2y ago

Precisely correct. They've hit the two million mark and it'll slow from there. Keep in mind that account count is not equal to user activity; Fediverse has many millions of accounts, but most have been dormant for over 6 months.,

I'm looking forward to the day it all explodes in their face and is uncovered as a huge prostitution and child slavery ring with rainbow flags, ofc.

[ARCHIVED] Jay 2y ago

I hate it. They've normalized Stockholm Syndrome and extortion by requiring everyone to be their "Ally" or else be forever an enemy that needs to be denegrated or at best converted.

Autumn Sun ☀️🌘☯️ 2y ago

100% correct.

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

If someone talked to me like that if I walked into a room , I would spin on my heels , and on the way out casually knock shit over shouting , whooops.

7fqx 2y ago

It's weird tho, cos the world for the most part (in the west at least) is p much totally catered to their views. You could literally walk into any HR Dept in any major company and shout these demands and they'd clap, even if the people shouting didn't work there.

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

I agree , it is nurtured in the corporate world. I've got opinions as to why.

Often companies support this nonsense , even if it is contrary to their bottom line: making money.

Disney are doing it , star wars , fucking Bud Lite ffs.

Why do you suppose that is ?

7fqx 2y ago

I think companies actually did see it as profitable to align themselves with 'social justice' movements, perhaps a bit of fear thrown in. I think it it mostly PR, even a fair amount on the left see it like this too tbf. I don't think there is any real commitment and they'll just move on to and adapt to whatever they think will sell more / keep them out of bad PR in future. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Autumn Sun ☀️🌘☯️ 2y ago

Because "virtue signalling" is compensation for darker aspects of a persons or organisations lives. You betcha half of the "wokies" have something very unpleasant in their baggage that they're hiding.

And corporations just tend to fuck their workers over any chance they get.

Autumn Sun ☀️🌘☯️ 2y ago

GHOST 2y ago

Excuse me, what is alt text?

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

Text within the html file on a website that is invisible on the browser , but if you use a screen reader ie you are blind , then when you hover over elements on the page , the alt= text is spoke n to the user so they can know what is going on in the webpage .

It's bog standard UX , every site does it , I dont know why she is acting like its a big change .

GHOST 2y ago

Gotcha. Or why anyone would be upset about it

Séimí Mac Síomón 2y ago

Cause they are a fucking mongoloid .

[ARCHIVED] Jay 2y ago

It's "inclusive" of screen readers but to require it as a moral necessity is just conformist groupthink.

Cos I've never posted nor have anything in bio. But occasionally see I'm blocked from seeing some accounts 🤔

Used to happen to me on X. Was on all sorts of blocked-by-association lists from people I'd never interacted with.

They would run scripts to auto-block people, or something.

That site seems very unappealing to me, but I think there is a demand for these trigger-safe pillow forts

7fqx 2y ago

This is what I was wondering yesterday when I asked this.

Is this by design? Does bluesky want these little bubbles that don't interact? Is their userbase demographic also by design? Did they reach out to the 'Left Twitter 2015' -type activist social media movers and shakers? It's going swimmingly from their perspective? Or do they see problems here?

Would love to know what #bluesky says behind closed door. Ahem jack ahem.
