A simple one, i believe that softwares must enforce them rather letting users doing it.
Here is some ideas :
- refuse “image post” without alt text.
- when you upload picture, you must provide their alt text, if there is no alt text, the picture will be deleted.
- hide user post based on alt text and remove post score if the alt text is bad.
- deactivate crosspost on posts who don’t have alt text
It maybe harsh but i believe that’s the only way to reach accessibility.
Edit :
- alt text autogen + a reminder bot will help users
- The app fedilab (mastodon) has some good rules on post with alt text.
- collaborative alt text.

Yrs you are right. :)
I don’t see why we should support content without alt text. There is people with various disability
I’m offering to void the post visibility :
I’m deaf and i think we should all do an effort to make the web accessible. Everyday, i have to adapt to your world.
People can give a small fraction of their time to improve accessibility. But you are right it maybe too harsh, we should find a middle ground that invite users making the web a place place rather punishing.
long text on piefed score
There is pro and cons using lemmy or piefed. Both have a different stance on moderation and offer a different experience.
Lemmy doesn’t check downvote or user with bad reputation. How are you able to act with toxic users ? For example one downvoting a lot and the other one that post terrible thing thus get lot downvote ? Is this good for your community ? I don’t think you will enjoy interacting with them.
Piefed score was requested by most admins and mods. It help us creating good community, our main job is creating a place where people enjoy sharing their experience. There are 2 scores :
So it just give us a general idea on users and improve community ambiance.
Futhermore, you can’t just take the scoring system alone. Those features work together :
