Sounds like they ran into similar technical issues as @baatl.mastod.one (which hasn't functioned for months, and, frankly, is unlikely to ever work again)

sorry that the labeler has been down so much for the last couple weeks—just made a change on the server that should hopefully fix this

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

just bumped the minimum follower threshold up 150%, we'll see if that helps the autolabeler get caught up

just noticed the @baatl.mastod.one autolabeling service has been down since Tuesday; just restarted it, looking into the root cause now

just realized I forgot to `systemctl enable` the autolabeling service for @baatl.mastod.one, if anyone was wondering what was behind this morning's downtime

those of us subbed to labels, this is what we see when folks don’t add alt-text to their images so maybe start using it yeah?

cropped screenshot of the warning label ‘no alt text’ with option to show

the label is ‘bad accessibility’

so basically it’s bad if you don’t use alt-text

People who want to make the web accessible need to understand the many different ways that people with disabilities use the web. This W3C resource offers a good introduction to how disabled people navigate the web, and barriers they commonly encounter. www.w3.org/WAI/people-u...

stuff like this is why I removed the term "extended characters" from the definition of Unicode Abuse

still working to reconcile lag with @baatl.mastod.one's automatic labeling against bsky's API throttling; for the time being, if you see a post without alt text that isn't labeled, it's either (a) the user doesn't have enough followers, or (b) I didn't set the minimum follower count high enough

a good rule of thumb for adding alt text to your photos is that if you want to share a photo with everyone, make it accessible for everyone to share
