Working on some accessibility features for the new @pixelfed app!

#pixelfed #accessibility

Pixelfed app home feed with an open alt text caption that reads: Snowy mountains melt into an alpine lake, with wildflowers in green grass in the foreground. [Fuji X-T5 / Tamron 18-300]

@dansup
Do you think there might be a good way to show the alt text without hiding it behind a button and displaying in a dialog?

What if the alt text was nicely displayed inline somewhere?

Here I am, hoping that I can someday have a politics-free social media experience. And some of you are on other platforms, sending political people here specifically to talk politics.

Can we have some other topics besides Linux and the end of the world? Please?!?!

@BeAware It’s a really worthy goal, but when so many groups of people are literally being attacked just for being who they are, the only way to take politics out of social media is to not follow any of the people in the groups who are being attacked. 😬

Then whats even the point when all that’s left are all people who think exactly alike.

Tonight, to better understand each other after a fight, my daughter and I used AI image generation to render scenes that expressed our feelings.

It was a very enlightening and emotional experience and it definitely drew us closer.

@BeAware Thanks! It’s a new tool for humanity and we’re all working on figuring out the best ways to use it.
