adding a signature to every post on this website haranguing @staff for being ableist because they don't allow alt text on audio posts, a thing no website in history has ever done for which there is absolutely zero standard infrastructure, is an incredibly hostile and aggressive thing to do. this website is a worker's co-op run by four people (some of whom are disabled) doing their best to not overwork themselves, please display a microgram of good faith and chill the fuck out

@margot: if there’s one thing that shows good faith, it’s insisting that a project that has taken pains to show they’re doing their best be perfect without fail
⬑ As an aside, this is how you should be doing transcriptions, if indeed it is practical to do a transcription at all. (Transcribing audio in particular is difficult enough that people get paid to do it.) The alt text for an image should be a simple description that gives about as much information as glancing at the image would for a sighted user, and then a transcription should go in the body of the post. Here's the HTML I used for this one:
<details>
<summary><small>Transcription</small></summary>
