You know if you block something you aren’t interested in you don’t even have to scroll past it, right?

Alt-text descriptions should clearly convey both the content and the meaning of the image, and should aim to use as few words as needed. Describe what’s essential to understanding (and enjoying!) the intent of the posted photo — you don’t need to add in a sentence for every visual element, but should include as much as you need to create an accurate portrayal of the image. Cut out unnecessary words and combine separate sentences as much as possible. One to two sentences is usually more than enough room to describe what’s going on.

As mentioned before, these photos convey information to the people scrolling your page, even if you are just posting them to brighten up your feed. They have a purpose, and for that reason, alt text should focus more on the image’s meaning than its aesthetics. This means you’re not focused only on what the object in the photo looks like, but what it is and why it was posted.

I was hoping to see a format that people can easily follow and just fill in the blanks, but I suppose this is the gist of it: Describe the main purpose of the photo succinctly rather than each and every individual thing you can see.

Blasting music/videos on their shitty phone speaker in public. If you really don’t have headphones, at least turn it down or hold the speaker closer to your ear so you’re not just annoying everyone in a 10-meter radius.

Late-morning tea break

If I don’t get a text or voice-mail right after the missed call, that’s how I know it was a scammer. If someone really wants to contact me they’ll try option B

Out of all the most prominent streaming services, Hulu has the most content I’d actually watch. Unfortunately, they still show ads in their cheaper paid subscription, which is a deal-breaker for me.

Of course. In fact, the most addictive kind is sparkling water

It’s great. I get all of the access to the Fediverse without really any of the connectivity issues I experienced on my lemmy.world account

Dry goods that don’t need to be prepared. Things like crackers and beef jerky are reliable choices.

One of the coolest experiences of my life was flying back to Portland from Chicago at night. Somewhere along the way, I looked out the window and off in the distance I noticed a lightning storm over a town. It was surreal how much lower the storm was than we were flying, and watching the lightning bolts branch out from the clouds to spread all over the place was just incredible.

I don’t fly often, so maybe that’s more common than I realize, but I thought it was pretty awesome.

Unless you called “spot check” that’s fair game

Some drugs are bad. Not these drugs tho, these drugs are good.

They fit, therefore they must be able to sit. It’s like a law of nature or something

Practically every day. I take public transportation so when I get home I’ll use a disinfectant wipe on it to kill any germs. It’s a habit that’s stuck with me since the pandemic and it’s just nice to have a clean phone.

I’ve actually noticed that too. It’s odd that anyone would go to/sub to a community for cat pics and just downvote whole threads of comments regularly.

When I see it happen I like to throw a few upvotes to balance the scales again.

But that’s just as easily avoided too. I only know what you’re talking about because I saw like 4 cringe atheist memes while broswing All once. I don’t subscribe to any of those pages and so I rarely see it, just like how one could easily avoid political discussion.

Unfortunately, now the comment just says Removed

I lost track of how many times I tried to block advertising accounts on there, but eventually gave up because blocking them just doesn’t fucking work. So glad to be done with that rotten platform now

In case you didn’t know, PoppinKream is here on the Fediverse now. That’s a good sign that more well-known users could migrate here
