Nothing special, just some potting soil and some cups.

Fill up with dirt, make a hole and drop the Brownies in and water lightly.

    I’m sorry, soapbox or grandstand somewhere else.

    I get it’s a disability aid, same time, people don’t provide translations “in a public place”, same can be applied to images. There’s images in public, there’s not alt text of those is there?

    If there’s not an automated way, than that’s what people should spend their energy on, not bemoaning to try and force people to do additional stuff. Not everyone has the extra time when they post. It’s not ableist.

    I have carpal tunnel any additional typing beyond necessary is painful. There’s more than one “ableist” perspective. Forcing me to type extra falls into the same category, but I’m not out in public griping about it.

        Forcing me to type is being ableist dude.

        I have a disability myself, think of other people instead of only yourself.

        Alt-text is great and important, but nobody is required to put in extra time and effort on their own original post for such things, especially not on a casual post that maybe a few thousand people will interact with.

        Some of us may struggle with reading, writing, visual processing, etc., or have to use tools that make adding additional accessability features a huge challenge. There are many sides to the same coin, not everything is done with malicious intent or an abilist mindset.

            First, this is not Mastodon. Idk the rules there, but to my knowledge, there is nothing requiring the use of alt-text on lemmy.world.

            Second, this is a post asking about fucking weekend gardening plans, not some world news or national tragedy. The image is literally meaningless outside of the context of the post. If you can’t interact with the image or you don’t like something, then the post isn’t for you. Move on and be a miserable asshole somewhere else.

            This isn’t Mastodon, and Lemmy does not support users entering alt text as far as I know.

              @catloaf If it wasn’t an instance of Mastodon it wouldn’t be able to root your toots here.

              The fediversecounter@mastodon.social counts it.

              You should ask how to enter alt text. Usually, when you upload a photo, a button for edit shows up. There you can enter alt text.

                I assure you, lemmy.world is Lemmy, not Mastodon. There is limited interoperability between them.

                But I did check and Lemmy does have an alt text field on submission. I don’t know how it works past that.

                  My app does have the option to add when posting for the record. I appreciate the people that do it, but I take offense at it being forced. If it was a rule to posting, it’s a barrier to entry for some people unfortunately, and I wouldn’t join.

                  Maybe my attitude will change after I get my surgery, but I get enough prejudice myself IRL for my invisible disabilities. It’s also hard enough on my mental health as is, don’t always need to be reminded of my limitations in my prime.

                  Sucks not being able to fully utilize your hands at 35, wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
