Some of my favorite international political cartoons from @cartoonmovement this week, by Matthew Fuller, Deb Milbrath, Gatis Sluka and Franco Juri.

@royaards
Would share but the cartoon descriptions are inappropriate. #alttext
@cartoonmovement@sternentau @royaards @cartoonmovement
i've seen people provide the alt text in the replies, then the op edits the top comment or the reply serves as a guide
instead of just complaining, why don't you do that
people who just complain things aren't better, rather than actively working to make things better, are not on the side of good in this world
they are on the side of their ego
-
@royaards How about to post it just later when you've got the time to describe it properly? More than three blind people following me and are out of context if I share your posts, because you argue with "I have no time". For the posting itself you have enough time?
so when you offer a helping hand, rather than spiteful backbiting, you tend to have a better experience in life in general, nevermind in terms of getting people to go along with what you want, asshole
write the alt text yourself, and fix your attitude

@benroyce @sternentau are you also saying "write your Alttext yourself" to a blind Person asking for it?

they wrote "More than three blind people following me" so no, liar
you don't get anything in this world harassing people
you get everything in this world by helping, and being nice
if certain assholes don't learn this, they are actively harming alt text adoption
do you understand? it's not fucking complicated

@benroyce ah well so I am a Liar or what do you want to tell me here besides your Tonepolicing? @sternentau
-
I try to do comprehensive alt texts whenever I can, but they do take a lot of time, time I sometimes don't have during my working day (and it's not like social media provides any income...)
Snarky comments don't really help.
@royaards @sternentau I'm blind, Tjeerd. I have no options. Your alt text is the only thing that gives me access to your images. It appears alt text and blind people are an immense burden to you and a disruption of your workday. I regret that I congratulated you on having a cartoon published in 3 national newspapers. If you find that snarky, tough luck, Sighty

tone policing is exactly the problem, deep thinker: the reply guy harassing a poster for no alt text is concern trolling
if you want more alt text:
1. people provide it cheerfully, they are helping
2. the person suggested the alt text appreciates it
3. then next time they remember to do it themselves
do you see how real life works, genius?
if instead there is harassment of the poster, they don't do alt text
they leave mastodon because of busybody controlling assholes

@benroyce @sternentau "if instead you harass the poster, they don't do alt text they leave mastodon because of busybody controlling assholes" don't thread me with having a good time without assholes who don't want to write Alttext.
-
100%. i hovered over their profile before responding
how does that change the issue one bit?
if svenga wants more alt text, like i want more alt text, this harassment of posters has to stop. if svenga doesn't understand that, they are hurting their own desires

@benroyce @gunchleoc at least learn to write my Name right. bye

i'm not an ableist you stupid loser
i'm trying to get more alt text by stopping concern trolling and harassment over alt text
you *help* by posting the alt text
if you make demands and backbite posters, you just drive them from mastodon
busy body controlling assholes *are not helping*. they are driving people from mastodon

@benroyce
*sarcasm alert* What a shiny nice example of your own words you are. Wouldn't you also please tell us to smile a bit more, when we politely ask for a tiniest bit of inclusional solidarity? -

great
so what you want is a mastodon where harassing concern trolls *getting off on their ego* don't help shit, they just drive people away
1. someone post sthe alt text cheerfully
2. the original poster understands and is happy to be corrected and learn
3. next time they alt text themselves
what you are voicing *does not increase alt text adoption*
it just alienates
i am arguing for more alt text adoption
you are arguing for controlling assholes
-
@benroyce @gunchleoc at least learn to write my Name right. bye
bye
make sure to drive down alt text adoption by championing controlling busy body reply guys, instead of learning that doesn't fix shit, except some troll's ego problems

Mastodon does not need people who are ableistic. And your argumentation is.
I hope that you'll not be accessed by an illness or accident, so that you'll feel what it means to cajole for help.

hey, lying asshole:
concern trolling does not foster solidarity
1. people help, the world gets better, social bonds strengthen
vs
2. people make demands rudely, nobody does alt text, mastodon becomes toxic and people leave
it's not hard to understand. why don't you understand it
