  • Here are my 2 most overlooked Mastodon Alt-Text features!

  • AI

    AI is super useful to disabled people! I was wondering the same when I saw the image text to text feature, seems like so little difference, maybe it uses too much computing power when run private and local for now or something?

  • Oh cool! Paused but not forgotten eh friend <3 I guess they still have to prioritize UI work, for me a UI improvement to Lemmy was the main reason for checking it out but I was a bit underwhelmed.

  • HAHAHAHAHahaha yeah it isn't all that advanced yet ;) I think they use something very very lightweight XD

  • wow this is such a behind the scenes look, thank you very much for that and explaining everything in such detail! I feel like this is one of the very few cases where it's already for "the state" to look up user data, since people actually want and need it to get help :)

  • The Fediverse ALT-Text issue

    Jump

  • wow that is fast!!! Mastodon is definitely slower in this particular case! Somebody sent me a similar ticket from 2024 ;)

  • Definitely more effective than every disabled person etc. having to generate it! Have you seen the Mastodon image text to alt text feature? I guess they could simply expand on that?

  • I guess even a questionmark (with a link to a popular website explaining it) next to the alt-field would suffice.

    Mastodon actually already has that, but manually! :)

  • Wow that's so interesting, thank you for the insight of what’s going on in the background of such a call! It really sounds like most of all you need "patience" for this job ;) I have always been wondering: if somebody calls you and just breathes heavy or stops talking like they passed out or something. What happens next? And how accurately can you figure out where somebodies phone is for example?

  • Awesome to hear friend <3

  • Thank you for the question! Yes I think so, in the short time since reddit.com/r/DeMeta has been active (and hopefully !DeMeta@lemmy.world soon), there has been a surprising amount of people finding it helpful. The plan is to get a certain percent of all people to the other platforms, so once normies join there will be enough activity to keep them :)

    E.g. if 25% of people only use Signal instead of WhatsApp, the others will very likely also keep it as a 2nd app and slowly maybe get away from WA :)

  • And luckily this wasn’t for anything too urgent, it was for credit card fraud or something along those lines. But actual emergencies get called into us all kinds of bass-ackwards ways like someone in another state calls their mom who lives here who calls her local police who transfer her to us so that we can transfer her to the police where the person who’s actually having an emergency is.

    Thank you for giving us so much insight and taking the time to explain the background! I haven't even considered this kind of scenario, I mean this sounds like a patter and something that might even increase as more people rely on bad AI. Can you maybe raise this issue with a higher up office? Also thank you for the important work you are doing, if I had an emergency, I would hope somebody considerate like you is on the other end! :)

  • No, I only recently found them! Thank you so much for the recommendations friend, are you by any chance an admin? we could recommend each others communities in the sidebar I think? :)

  • yeah I also read that they heavily train it on Reddit, used to be more last year though.
