Altbot

Aha interessant, ich habe mir ja bisher keine Gedanken darüber gemacht, wie und wo diese #Altbots ihre Daten her holen.

Important Notes:
If you follow me, your media missing alt-text will be uploaded to Google Gemini and might be used for training purposes.

Man muss es den Tech-Bros aus den protofaschistischen USA ja nicht noch einfacher machen und denen die Daten freiwillig geben. Ich werde also mal anfangen diese Altbots auf meiner Instanz zu blocken.#altbot

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.
