    Completely unrelated to the meme, but I love how folks on Lemmy will frequently provide alt/descriptive text for images. When I have to deal with user-provided images for my org’s website, it’s like pulling teeth to get them to provide anything at all.

      Hey thank you for commenting on this. It lets me do a tiny lil soapboxing here for just one second hehe:

      I wish people did it more often, but I do find the fedi in general good for accessibility (Mastodon community seems especially good at captioning).

      I don’t want to shame anyone, but I have been trying to cook up a series of memes to encourage this community (and others) to alt up their images.
