Danny Boling ☮️<p>Thank you for including <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a>, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://universeodon.com/@georgetakei" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>georgetakei</span></a></span>!! ❤️</p>
Rocketman<p>Let it be recorded that I just saw the worst <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alttext</span></a> of all my years on the Fedi</p>

As if copypasta didn't exist. </p><p>Also, Reich and some others use the bird.makeup (sp?) service that reposts their tweets from Xchitter over here to the Fedi. That service may not do <a href="https://mastodon.redgarterclub.com/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> well.</p>
your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦<p>what’s with people creating images of the text of a post and then deciding they wont add that text to the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> ? and it’s usually old dudes posting these (am looking at you Robert Reich). </p><p>what’s the attention grabbing theory being peddled about these? cuz they’re fucking annoying.</p>
Greg Johnston<p>Crazy jumping buck in neighbor’s yard early yesterday morning, frisking with two others, I think they’re sensing the rut, sowing oats. They came back around in the afternoon.

The second emoji is just the standard emoji wearing a face mask.</p><p>The first emoji has a hand in front of its mouth, a little bit like it's coughing. But the fingers &amp; thumb are cupped as if encircling a long cylindrical object about the size of a cucumber, or maybe an eggplant. The cheek opposite the hand is bulging out, as if from the tip of the imaginary eggplant; and curved motion lines imply that the eggplant is moving rapidly back and forth. The emoji is also shown with lipstick and makeup so that it appears female-presenting.</p><p>An overlying comment reads "That emoji is NOT coughing [laughing emoji]".</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Alt4You" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alt4You</span></a></p>

Die Zahlen fallen bis ca. 2010 auf um die 30000 und bleiben dann auf etwa gleichem Niveau, bis sie 2020 plötzlich auf ca. 22000–23000 einknicken und für 1 Jahr etwa gleich bleiben. Nach 2021 ist ein schneller Anstieg zu beobachten. Die Zahlen scheinen sich seit 2023 bei ca. 27000 zu stabilisieren.</p><p>Hat mal jemand die Kurve der Homeoffice-Quote darüber gelegt? 🤔</p>

Thank you for sharing your passion and skills generously. I’ve learned a great deal. I would gladly boost your messages if you could just add AltText so that people with visual impairments could also enjoy them. Your videos are narrated with such eloquence that describing the photos should, I imagine require little effort on your part.</p><p>I used to think of it as a bit of a chore when posting my own photos, but now look afresh and considerate it a challenge to describe them succinctly but imaginatively. I love monochrome.
