The internet is an opportunity to connect and share great things, but often it is used to spread hate, misinformation, or isn't as accessible as it could be.
We encourage creativity, kindness, inclusion and accessibility and help you avoid those who don't.
Doesn't matter, ableist slurs should never be used. Rather than insulting their actions you use a label used to paint those with disabilities as lesser, showing on some level you think that.

Use words that identify what these evil, bigoted, fascists are doing. Not an ableist slur.

Being an ally is greatly appreciated.
But let's make sure when letting the world know we are allies that we are not excluding people from that message.

Everyone deserves to see who is supporting them. Which means making sure images are accessible with #AltText #Alt4U

Great work! Hope the streams go well and a lot of money raised for a very worthy charity helping those otherwise excluded from gaming to get to play as well!

We've added some #AltText to your rewards table so that it's accessible for all on Bluesky as well.

Especially for a fundraiser for a charity doing great work in inclusion and accessibility making sure information about their event is accessible to all feels particularly important.

#Alt4U

For images of text (especially highlighted ones) all that's needed is a quick Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V and you've made your post accessible, more likely to show up in search results and respected people's choice to mute words/topics.

Image posts that are just text are easy to provide alt text on, the minimum really is just copy/pasting the text into the alt text field.

It helps make it more accessible whilst also showing up in relevant searches and respecting people's muted words.

Please help keep news accessible to everyone.
Especially text as image posts, adding alt text really is just a copy/paste.

Agreed, it seems so hypocritical.
The amount of people we had to add to the moderation list we're making who otherwise posted detailed news, pro-rights, equality and inclusivity but just did not add alt text was disappointing.

For some it will only be a genocide when it potentially reaches the stage of rounding up the community again.

Too many seem unwilling to call it out to stop it reaching that stage, or fail to recognise erasing history, identity and depriving them of healthcare is genocide in itself.

We found it really disappointing how many accounts we had to add of people who usually champion rights and fairness but seem to not add alt text to make their work accessible to all.

Agreed! We'd love to see it.
We'd love to see posts without alt text either hidden or majorly de-prioritised from the feeds.
It would also allow feed creators to specify that alt text is a requirement to show in their feed.
Until then blocklists it is and hopefully a labeller soon!
February 21, 2025 at 8:32 PM
Can you provide more detail on how to auto-hide posts with no alt text?
We've been creating a moderation list for accounts that post important political/news/health posts without alt text but if there's a built in way of hiding them until we get our labeller online we'd love to know about it!
February 21, 2025 at 8:23 PM
Please be kind and add alt text to images!

We're glad to hear the breakfast went well though.
February 21, 2025 at 7:57 PM
We have a moderation list of accounts posting politics/news without alt text if you'd rather avoid them and keep your feed a bit clearer.

Please tag us/message us with more so we can keep building this list!
You can subscribe to mute or block all the accounts on the list.
