If someone can have a go at alt-texting this I'll ad it to the post. I don't even know where to start with this one...

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

A photoshop of the painting “Pondering the Orb,” by fantasy artist Angus McBride. A wizard sits at a table staring at a crystal ball, his face illuminated by the orb’s glow. The wizard’s face has been replaced by Sisko’s, while the crystal ball has been replaced with a baseball.
Thanks, added!
I would amend that slightly to
To be more specific about precisely who it is so it's clear from the caption that this is a Star Trek reference. (I'm not sure just the name "Sisko" is good enough.)
Or alternatively, I would change it in precisely the opposite way and describe him as being "a black man with a goatee", to describe just the visual inputs that a sighted person would experience when looking at the image, and let the reader infer who it is the same way a sighted person would.
But I definitely prefer the more specific option.
Fair. I assumed “Sisko” was sufficient if the reader was aware they were in a Star Trek-related community.
Fair point, actually. Not sure whether a screen reader would read the image description or Community first on the Lemmy homepage.
