Looking for Pinterest alternatives, remembered Pexels and was initially impressed buuuut it's owned by Canva and ... 😒
My gut (and history of internet usage) tells me not to trust Canva.
If you curate images online (for reference and inspiration) what are your thoughts ?

"The only known #photographs of the #deportation of the #Jewish population in the #German city of #Hamburg have been discovered in a German #police officer’s secret #photo album.
Until now, no visual record of the #deportations from Hamburg was known to exist. But researchers have now identified three photographs taken in October #1941.
For 84 years, these #images remained hidden in the private album of a German #policeman who served in #Unit101 of the #Ordnungspolizei, or “green police,” a unit involved in #deporting and #murdering tens of thousands of #Jews during the #Holocaust."

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.
