Honestly the party should also be helping spearhead the preservation of government data, should they ever intend to be in power again. Host it elsewhere, make it available. Show the value of a party that doesn't reject science/data.

This is my best intro guide to alt text for images that don't have text or aren't entirely text. Alt text for images of text is a different beast entirely.
If you're seeing encouragement/demands to do alt text and you're overwhelmed or confused about how to do it and you're worried you're going to do it wrong...
this thread is for you.
First: prompt questions to get you started.

First: prompt questions to get you started.
Alt text prompt Qs:
What would someone who can't see the image need to know about it in order to take part in the conversation? What is it about this image that made you choose it? What are the important details someone who could see the image would take away from it?
(Not for images of text.)

Great idea from @cherijacobus.bsky.social
Pete is fantastic. I will tune in and I'm guessing a ton of others will too. I'd much prefer to get my news from him than from the legacy media that is failing us (and each other).

The simple reason kids are picky eaters is: drop a random adult off in literally any wilderness and see how long it takes em to eat poison.
Being extremely stubborn about eating only what you *know* to be edible, is a survival trait.

At the same time, those picky eaters exert selective pressure on agriculture to remove existing toxins.
You can thank countless generations of picky eaters for solanaceae being edible and not poisonous.

Being deliberate and persistent in blocking obnoxious, cruel, disagreeable people on this site is very similar to giving your community herd immunity to a disease. The more people that block a gross person, the fewer people in your network will have to endure their bile.

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.
That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/
