Don't see anything wrong with that. The squeaky grease gets the wheel, after all. So people like that lead to more accessibility options, or awareness to fund initiatives to hell solve those issues for future generations.
>you find a lot of people on Mastodon who complain that people don't put ALT text on images but I work really hard to write good ALT text for my photos and people aren't thankful for that.
Well that's just our society. We don't get thanked for what is "expected" of us. Only punished for our shortcomings. Media reflects reality in that case.
- PaulHoule 10mo agoWell if that’s your attitude it is no wonder you feel hated and marginalized and not getting what you want. In successful relationships you show gratitude much more often than you complain. On Mastodon I find a lot of people who do the work of running servers are pretty steamed about all the hateful and demanding people on that platform. They don’t usually talk about it because they don’t want to get dogpiled, but it comes up often when I get into conversations with those people.
