  • @PugJesus I’ve gotten on to the lead programmer of piefed, and he is now going to change the default behaviour when alt text if left off by users 🙂

    To be clear, actual descriptions are greatly appreciated by the fediverse generally - and not just for people with limited vision - but at least in future if piefed users choose not to describe images, it won’t deceptively make it look like they have 👍

  • @PugJesus How odd! All your image posts seem to follow this pattern. Maybe it is a setting of your client app or your instance?

  • @PugJesus thanks for putting #altText on the picture, but please don’t just repeat the text already in the post there; much better to actually describe the image in some way. Thanks :)

  • @brisk The article says “However, the code does preempt concerns that children might get around controls by simply not logging in to their accounts.”

  • @brisk I thought the same, though also I presume you’d have to be logged in to turn safe search off.
