Needs text alternative.Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:

  • usability
    • we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
    • text search is unavailable
    • the system can't
      • reflow text to varied screen sizes
      • vary presentation (size, contrast)
      • vary modality (audio, braille)
  • accessibility
    • semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc) is lost
    • some users can't read this due to lack of alt text
    • users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
    • systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
  • web connectivity
    • we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
    • we can't explore wider context of the original message
  • authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
  • searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
  • fault tolerance: no text fallback if image breaks.

Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

The indoctrinated MAGA women want to fuck them, though.

Ah, your lemmy client is garbage: the default & official standard (lemmy-ui) doesn't do that.

It renders fine for me in boost

Also nonstandard & great reason to switch or send a bug report/fix to your nonstandard software's developers.

Desktop, Vivaldi browser, Lemmy.zip; still seeing the weird broken comment.

That is the correct rendering: a details element then a p element. In HTML

<details><summary> Needs text alternative. </summary>
⁝
</details>
<p>The indoctrinated MAGA women want to fuck them, though.</p>

A control for the details element can expand or collapse its content. In what sense is this broken?
