#mastodon #fediverse #etiquette post

always use #alttext

you don't have to write a novel. just describe your #video or #picture succinctly

for pictures of #text, there's easy quick online tools to turn it into text

it's not just a matter of making mastodon a friendlier place for #disability: sometimes people aren't in a place they can listen, or they have a bad connection, or the media decayed

and some people don't boost posts without alt text, so you lose engagement

The #ConnectedAtBirth #etymology of the week is TEXT/SUBTLE #wotd #text #subtle #BackToSchool

Any English major can tell you that a text can be subtle and hard to understand. Latin textus meant literally “woven thing” but could metaphorically be used to refer to the “style or texture of a work” and eventually the “written work” itself. The Latin subtilis meant “finely woven” from sub- “under” + tela “web”. Both text and subtle can thus be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root *teks- meaning “to weave”.

Graydon2 on the durability and superiority of text over other communication technologies and media.

Text can convey ideas with a precisely controlled level of ambiguity and precision, implied context and elaborated content, unmatched by anything else.
