While this bot is going to be used by a lot of non-disabled people, we are not interested in the comfort of non-disabled people.

We care about the rights and liberation of disabled people.

Accessibility is not a performance, it takes actual work.

Kind reminder:

Most of the feedback we recieve, critical or not, is very helpful and welcome.

But we do not welcome harrassment in our DMs.

We do not get paid to maintain this bot, and so we don't get paid to deal with any emotional labour of responding to such harassment.

[EDIT: this is now disabled: https://botsin.space/@PleaseCaption/110980336098310604]

This bot will remind you when you boost content that is also missing media descriptions (alt text).

We are aware this is harder to resolve than fixing your own toots. You will have to either have to reply with your own description, or ask for the content creator to fix their content.

We will not make it so you can opt out of this feature.

We don't expect disabled people who don't have energy/spoons to resolve issues with boosted content.

Get annoyed with this bot's messages in your mentions?

We just launched the ability to delete reminder toots from this bot. 💞

If you favourite a toot it will be deleted from your private mentions.

Please let @zac@toot.cafe know of any feedback/issues with this.

You can add a description to images on most clients.

Here's a guide on how to write the descriptions/"alt text":
https://webaim.org/techniques/alttext/

To get started:

1. Follow this bot and it'll start to follow you back.

2. If you have "Request follow requests" enabled you need to accept the bot's follow request.

3. If your posts or boosts have missing text descriptions you will get a reminder.
