Alt text

Two arguing children, representing Republicans and Democrats, each tout their support for Oligarchy or Corpocracy respectively. A third child, representing Libertarians, suggests “why don’t we have both?”

    Good job on not confusing corpocracy & corporatism.
    People often miss plutocracy & kleptocracy.

    checks alt text

    (nothing)

    This image needs a text alternative, though: the image’s text content is unperceivable to the sight-impaired, for examples, so the post isn’t web accessible.
    It violates WCAG guideline

    Provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols or simpler language.

    As a consequence, it’s also unsearchable by the hidden text content, which impairs usability for everyone.

      Hmm. I’m not too worried if the sight-impaired can’t see my silly meme. They’re probably better off not seeing it! :-). But is it possible to add alt text to this post without reposting?

        Yes, edit post & fill the alt text field. Editing posts and setting alt text are standard features of lemmy web interfaces accessed by web browser.

        Those downvotes are part of why lemmy has a toxic culture: hostility to web accessibility and basic decency that perpetuates structural inequity. Bluesky and other parts of the fediverse like mastodon are better about promoting web accessibility. Web accessibility is a tangible matter of fairness, equal access, and decency we can all directly provide or deny.
