@simon,

Folks have to understand that rules lie in the hands of a server- moderator, and that's it.

The great thing about the #Fediverse is that:

if you can't find a server and moderator combo that works for you, simply setup your own server with your own rules ๐Ÿ˜€

@kidehen @simon How limiting... It makes artists feel unwelcome. Our art is part of us... something we want to share. It is as natural to our human form as the shape of our hands or the hair on our heads. Even if people are not interested in my free pattern site I still enjoy the sharing of my work. It can also be denying someone else a grin.

A crochet version of Frosty with an orange/red scarf, pipe, and a grey flat top hat. This version is after magic with arms/legs.

@AppalachianCrochet @kidehen @simon I would love to boost your happy snowman! But I can't as it has no alt text. ๐Ÿ˜ž

I had my finger on the boost button of the lovely snowman too. It's definitely worth re-editing this with alt text.

@ProjectFearlessness @Homebrewandhacking @kidehen @simon I try, I do better adding descriptions for actual photos but my crochet work is hard for me to add context to in a way that fully describes what one is seeing/not seeing.

It is difficult. I'm the same but I stumble through, hoping giving a really poor idea of what's going on is bettet than no idea at all.

@ProjectFearlessness @AppalachianCrochet @kidehen @simon it's actually really hard putting pictures into words but even the basics help.

@AppalachianCrochet I'm definitely interested! Where can we find your site? #crochet #snowman

@JasperJenkins @kidehen @simon Alt text is describing the picture for those who cannot see well but use the forum. I struggle when it comes to describing my own crochet items... it never reads well.

So when you post a pic try to leave a description of what is in the picture allowing them to create the picture in their mind.

@kidehen @simon I wouldn't call it simple, and I don't think it's in everyone's reach in terms of time and money. Obviously it's an improvement over having no realistic alternatives at all. But it doesn't get us out of our responsibility to have expectations for the instances we're on. Even if the misbehavior doesn't impact us personally.

In this case though, yeah, what's with going after people just for having economic lives, that's definitely punching down instead of up.
