Most jokes keep their meaning in text form.

Ironic

This makes memes more accessible to blind people, and costs less internet traffic bandwith and electricity.

      Okay, it’s still funny, but you missed the irobot face. That specific face conveys a lot more than this simple emoji.

          Then your point makes no sense, since adding alt text is not an unpopular opinion, and is always encouraged.

            Lemmy needs some of the same nags Mastadon has to encourage adding alt text. Honestly I’m not even sure how to add alt text when I do post images!

                That’s kinda sad that a third party app has better accessibility integration than the official project’s UI. I specifically use the web interface on both mobile and desktop, and if there is a way to add and view alt text on images I’m not seeing it
