     @swope @skry No, the rocket is a Falcon 9, but the whole point was that @pluralistic might start having alt-text in the pictures he posts.

     @skry

     I think the photo of the rocket is a reply (quote tweet) to the Elon Musk post.

     @skry

     Also:

     "Adrian Dittman" is widely believed to be a pseudonym used by Elon Musk.

     The rocket is a SpaceX ~~Starship~~ Falcon 9.

     @whvholst Adrian Dittman tweeted a video of a rocket launch.

     Elon replied: "Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform"

     @swope @whvholst @skry@mastodon.socia dude.

     I sent you a screenshot of an image I posted with a description of its contents. The alt text for the screenshot then went on to describe the substantive reason for its existence.

     But by all means, keep scolding strangers for failing to comport themselves to your standards. You're sure to accomplish your goals that way.

     @pluralistic

     Congratulations on adding some alt-text. I would recommend making it a description of what's in the image.
