You know what the most visually impaired-unfriendly place I've been since I was diagnosed in "blind" category 5½ years ago is?
Here. This place. Mastodon.
No exaggeration, 100% actual fact.
People keep nagging or even aggressively demanding that I fill out alt-text/image descriptions, even though it says in my intro-toot that I AM VISUALLY IMPAIRED.
Thanks for reminding me what I lost once a week or usually more, as if the loss wasn't shit enough anyway.
Do you go around demanding people call their mother on Mother's Day if they have "I grieve my dead mother" in their descriptions too?
Or demand hospital bed bound people must "go out for a walk in the marvelous spring weather!"?
NEVER EVER send ANYONE "add image descriptions!"-toots unless you yourself add the effort of checking their bio/intro for clear statements implying that they CAN'T or SHOULDN'T!
I'm so fucking tired of you inconsiderate egocentric shits.
Think about what you're doing and why, or FUCK RIGHT OFF, you ableist cultists.
