You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

The problem with this is images are thumbnailed but descriptions are not, so the first thing I see is the description and not the image, kind of ruining the impact of the image...if we could get all text descriptions hidden behind spoiler tags or something, that would be great
Yeah, I wish they would do it the same way Mastodon does. There's an "alt text" button for images
Actually, its because there's no way to specify alt text right now. What you're specifying with the
format is a label, which from a technical aspect is distinct from alt text. Op is correct, alt text shouldn't render by default. Not because of abelism, but because that's how they work. Don't be so quick to start throwing isms at people.I bet you're not even disabled in any way, you just want some moral issue to get all offended about. It's all performative.
Fuckin "ableist" being weaponized, it's gross and I'm sick of it. White savior bullshit. Piss off.
Are you disabled?
No, but I'm not the one saying "ableist af".
I hate that term. You might call it triggering. It's almost always followed by someone trying to pick a fight. It's the new transphobia. Something for teenagers to latch on to so they can feel superior for fighting against an evil x-phobic or x-ist person, but not as actually dangerous as arguing against fascists or religious fundamentalists.
It's all over the fediverse and it's so annoying.
Or, consider this, maybe said teens just dislike discrimination? I don't want to assume, but it almost sounds like you've been called "transphobic" one too many times.
Fedi seems to be really great for accessibility from what I've seen. At least I've never never interacted with so many visually impaired people before joining mastodon. So I'd say that culture is working.
I believe there's a nice way to go about (honey v vinegar, etc), but generally yeah, it feels really good to be in a virtual space that is so welcoming.
Are you talking to me or that other user I am responding to? Cause lemmy doesn’t use an image description feature right now, it’s extremely lacking. I’m not sure how kbin does it but it’s really not great in lemmy right now
Ye, meant to reply to /u/DessertStorms, not you, sorry
