If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
sure but you aren't respecting the writer's time, even though you fully understand what they said. hope that helps someone.
I'm tired of this fight, especially when correcting language outside of this often is it's own form of soft-racism towards non-anglosphere dialects they don't even know exist.
if u can't get that ppl are speaking informally and fast, idk what 2 tell u. outside of "lmao".
this is even more necessary when people don't know about, or do not like, swipe typing. c'mon.
a related phenomenon is sighted people demanding other people take 30 minutes to caption the image it took them 1min to find that was posted while in line at the grocery store.
yr heart's in the right place but yr analysis of what good captioning/transcription requires is way out there. I wish there was a better way to reconcile this, especially with text posts where writing captions is arduous due to character caps or weird design decisions like one-line input boxes.
mastodon, or at leasf teh instance I use, has a built-in OCR reader. Tech like thaf really would help making the captioning process more accessible, meowf, and I think at teh end of the day I think it's a tech/platform problem, rather than teh failure of individuals. (I say this as someone who tries their best to caption all their images, even here on cohosf where it's really hard)
mastodon has an OCR reader, the issue is that it's still constrained by the 1k character cap. but yes it's still a positive step
Yes, and it doesn't really work thaf well, at least wiff teh images I used, hehe. But I hope thaf tools like that improve and become more widespread, meowf. And not just automated/AI stoof, buf like in-site guidances and things to teach/encourage/ease people into making good captions.
