@_elena@mastodon.social does a deep dive into "the mindful, considerate culture of the Fediverse, focusing on the use of alt text and content warnings".

"Web accessibility is a fundamental human right."

"But then [@ mathi_gwithyas] wrote to me explaining that I had to manually turn on “alt text” in my Threads settings in order to see it."

Truly bizarre.

Reminds me of how, not so much nowadays, I don't think, but at least back in the day, if a video game had subtitles, you had to turn them on. Extra work for folks who needed the most help.

Glad that seems to have changed!
