The internet has become 3 massive multi-user blogs, each largely consisting of screenshots taken of the other two. This kind of blows, and not just for the usual reasons that may spring to mind.
Images are a terrible medium for online communication! Not everyone online uses a monitor. Any messages contained in a picture is straight up unacceptable without alt-text. It also makes it harder to find and fact check sources, or to spread a thought or idea further than yet another image upload. Copy/pasting text is just plain easier than downloading and uploading.
If you’re going through the trouble of creating an image post, take an extra minuite to copy/past (or even transcribe) the source text into the alt-text submission. It’s not much, but it goes a ways to improving how we use this blasted network!
You must log in or # to comment.
I’m so confused. This shows up as a cross post to the same comm, shows up in your profile, but doesn’t actually appear anywhere else - and yet 3 other people have found it and upvoted it?
Presumably she posted twice. Since the image is the same URL, lemmy will show it as a cross-post.
It will also show up on e.g. the local/active sorting, so long as the two are not on the same page (then it gets de-duplicated)

So the only reason I don’t see this one on the new sort is because it’s on the same page and gets deduped? And there will be a brief period where the stars align and I can see them on different pages? Nice.
haha oops
