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

Thanks for the input, everyone! Looks like the consensus is: yes, favourite your replies

I have a habit of overthinking things like this so I will try to be more spontaneous with faves and boosts. After all, they’re free and not carved in giant stone tablets for all eternity 😅

(I used to think Twitter was ephemeral until I noticed that all my tweets had been saved on the Internet Archive.)

Do people on Mastodon generally favourite the replies to their posts as a form of acknowledgement? Like, “favourite” acts like a thumbs up?

I’ve noticed that people do favourite my replies so maybe I should do the same.
