Remember folks, adding alt text to an image is a good and helpful thing to do, but nobody wants it to make you anxious about sharing things when you don't have the energy.

Also, you can edit your posts, including the alt text, whenever you want, so you can do it later too.

There's also tags like #ALT4me where you can signal that you'd like a little help - people can add descriptive text in a reply.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Actually added text to one of my own after writing this. 🙈

For the recidivist #mastodaoine and any new ones that might pop in, here's my quick guide to how tf to use this thing again: https://mastodon.ie/@davey_cakes/109525794316079346

> Why should admins care about what other server admins are blocking/not blocking?

Exactly, we don't, apart from extreme cases that nobody here would fall out over.

I've seen people concerned that the ongoing discussion of #facebook / #meta and #Project92 is going to be some kind of schism.

One thing people are worried about is the idea that admins who block Facebook will block servers that don't block Facebook. I've been following the conversation, largely from the #FediPact side but I haven't seen anyone planning to do that.

I did see an admin block a server run by someone they also disagreed with on this, but it wasn't the reason.

We're ok I think.

If you're hopping on a Lemmy (Fedi Reddit clone) server this weekend, don't be afraid to throw them a few euro for luck if you're in a position to do so.

It's how this site managed to stay up instead of falling over when it got busy.

"hey website, got any lamps"
"yeah, here's one"
"Oh that's quite nice"
"EIGHT PEOPLE LOOKED AT IT RECENTLY"
"what"
"TEN PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT IT"
"why are you overlaying these messages on the picture of the nice lamp"
"I'LL OVERLAY YOU ON THE BOTTOM OF A SIX FOOT HOLE IF YOU DON'T BUY THIS FUCKING LAMP NOW"
"bit intense for lighting like"
"FUCK YOU I SMASHED THE LAMP YOU CAN'T FUCKING HAVE IT NOW"

I have encountered a snag in Northern Ireland, who do I report this to so that it can be promptly resolved?

Don't forget to call it "St Patty's Day" as much as possible in order to expose how many Irish people are actually dry shites.
