@esther I make it a point to not check neither Facebook nor Instagram.

If people get scolded for not providing alt texts for images, then organizations should also be reminded each and every time to post all info in their RSS enabled blogs as well as on the Fediverse, i.e. out in the open.

@esther "You don't understand, Instagram, so hot right now, Instagram"

@savedr I’m even in favor of posting stiff there too, but if it’s the only way, that’s a problem

@esther they also post screenshots of maps so cropped in that you have no context for where they’re actually doing something (like will actually not include park names or whatever)

@endocrimes @esther although probably unintentional, this is hostile to visitors who might not be from the area, and (added to the use of Meta systems) increases risk for someone like a teen or young adult who might be attending an event on their own, and perhaps quite understandably does not want to tell their parents exactly where they are going!

@vfrmedia @esther …yes obviously? that was kinda my point?

even if you do live here, you probably can’t identify every park based on the shape of a fraction of it

@endocrimes @esther its an increasing problem everywhere (I see it happen in event publicity for my town as well) - the material is designed by those who live in town/city centre, and forget that folk from outside might also want to attend.

But if something is exclusively on Instagram I simply won't see it as I've never had any Instagram or Facebook account and have 0 intention of ever using it..

@endocrimes @esther latitude and longitude coordinates just seem so much better, since they are quite literally global for any mapping service or app someone would use

@esther did they announce anything for this year? I don't even have Instagram, but I want to go!

@aenea it’s very unclear. They posted something about having more and smaller event this time but i don’t know much details

Aenea

@esther Damn, well I guess it will be more clear closer to the date, I expect something like end of July

@esther Seriously? They use a platform which gives a shit about trans rights, to organize events? Makes sense...not. 🤦‍♂️

@esther So much for encouraging responsible social media use.

I just wrote the very similar thing a few days ago in german language

(next to) All the pride parade Information and Organisation stuff has this year moved into Facebook, and is actively encouraged by websites like queer.de to use this

Those who dont want to use Facebook have just been cut off from participating in and joining pride parades to support
