Programmer Humor

My take is that everyone does it for their own posts, it's not actually that much effort. And it's an amount of effort that's worth it, to make the threadiverse a more welcoming and accessible place. If even one post I transcribe is seen by one blind or vision-impaired user, I'll consider the work worth it.

The fediverse broadly is already far better for accessibility than sites like Reddit and Twitter, with users in general far more likely to be aware of things they can do to promote access for users with special needs. But we can still do better, especially our threadiverse corner of the fediverse. Considering one of the reasons for outrage over Reddit dumping their API was the impact on users of blind-focused third-party apps, that's particularly disappointing.
