Is there a way to tell what percentage of images on #Mastodon have alt text?

bluesky is experiencing major community backlash after the platform allowed users to register handles with racial slurs

but it's about more than just that

i spoke to bluesky users to find out what's going on: https://mashable.com/article/bluesky-racism-username-anti-blackness

If I was going to try to learn some simple motion graphics video stuff for use on social media, would I be better off using Canva or CapCut?

I only have experience with iMovie and I don't want to learn Adobe Premier.

Have you given Threads, an Instagram App, a try yet?

We just drove by Mastodon Ridge in Stewiacke, Nova Scotia so I took this picture just for this post.

#Mastodon isn’t perfect but the two complaints I read about it this morning (on #BlueSky of all places) have me just… boggled.

1. “mastodan is like bluesky but if you needed to open an Excel sheet every time you wanted to post”
   …What are you even TALKING about?

(I realize there are complicated parts of Mastodon, fine, but posting? That’s the easy part!)

2. Masto users are overly sensitive.

   We need more sensitivity in this world, not less.

Don’t forget to ask about how people with glasses are supposed to use them 🙂

My entirely anecdotal vibe explanations of Mastodon, BlueSky, and the Bird App:

*Disclaimer: I'm using all 3 for the time being but tailoring my content to each. This isn't sustainable long-term.

1/2

If humans could fly, I think some of us would. But it probably takes the same amount of energy as running. So realistically, I think most of us would end up like pigeons & loiter outside of convenience stores instead of flying across the country.

I just tallied how much content I was shown on Instagram on my personal account vs my business account.

PERSONAL ACCOUNT
• Original content from people I follow: 46%
• Suggested content: 30%
• Ads: 24%

BUSINESS ACCOUNT
• Original content: 54%
• Suggested content: 20%
• Ads: 26%

SCIENCE!

Meta aka Instagram is working on a Twitter competitor that is rumored to be ActivityPub compatible.

If you run a fediverse instance (Mastodon, Pixelfed, Calckey and others), would you ban a Meta instance?

Boosts appreciated 👍 #fediverse #barcelona #activityPub #meta

#FacePalm. Despite their good intentions, Post will fail as long as its revenue model is based on MicroPayments. As Clay Shirky famously put it...

> Users hate them

... and that's not going to change.
