@stefan The cost of #ivory is a major obstacle for me, and I imagine for many other Mastodon users as well. I find the prospect of having to pay for a “subscription” to a Mastodon client, when there are apps available that only have to be paid for once, upon purchasing (such as #Toot!), incredibly distasteful - and I imagine a lot of other users without much expendable income do as well
@stefan#Toot! does heavily encourage alt-text when posting photos - it requires several steps to opt-out of posting without alt-text, which provides a lot of friction to users who’s prefer to post images without descriptions - anecdotally, I expect I’d post alt-text on my photos much less frequently if Toot! didn’t encourage users to add descriptions as heavily as it does
Eine sehr gute Toot-Reihe von @bkastl über das kommerzielle Ausnutzen der kostenlosen Inputs von User*innen auf Stack Overflow über ChatGPT von OpenAI:
If I may be all ‘#pig in #shit’, & rather egoist (I’m not normally inclined to #toot pictures of myself), but there’s context.
This very #weekend last year I started to suffer symptoms that rendered me, days later, unable to #walk. #GuillainBarreSyndrome ain’t to be messed with. But for those of you currently going downhill fast by this oddity & seeing this, it can be defeated. Keep the faith! I may be holding a staff, but I don’t need it! Follow the #dog’s positivity and #kick GBS.
Sorry for taking a dark/bad quality pic of these Hungry #kittens 🥺😔 I just went in there usual spot & its dark in the area & im alone so i just left quick..😔 They so hungry.. :sadcat1:
Hello #Mastodon wishing you all a Good Day🦋❤️ I'm not feeling well & I'm trying to be okay despite of all struggles 💔🥺 Please I hope you can notice my toots.. A little Kindness needed 🥺😢.
Thank you Mastodonians 🙏🏻
Dies ist ua zB auch das Fediverse und aber auch alternative Suchmaschinen wie @MetaGer, @Mojeek & SearXNG ect. doch nicht nur, sondern auch unser Verhalten soll nicht nur passives Konsumieren sein. Auch deswegen hier meine Toots / Posts, die vor allem über Technik geht aber um deren Nutzen von Menschen und ihren Schutz.
