We already talked about it between admins, Rimu included. There were a long debate.

AN just wanted to share their side of story and bring you more complete info. u.u

For piefed.social login screen, there was a massive scrappers attack, so they had to close 😔

Glad you enjoyed it :)

There are plenty cool talks from the chaos communication congress event, the hacker event. I put the link at the end of my post.

For example this one is crazy :

https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-pwn2roll-who-needs-a-599-remote-when-you-have-wheelchair-py

A 595€ wheelchair remote that sends a handful of Bluetooth commands. A 99.99€ app feature that does exactly what the 595€ hardware does. A speed upgrade from 6 to 8.5 km/h locked behind a 99.99€ paywall - because apparently catching the bus is a premium feature.

Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM in assistive devices, where already expensive basic mobility costs extra and comes with in-app purchases! And because hackers gonna hack, this just could not be left alone.

Impressive, thank for sharing this amazing picture 😳👍

TL; DR

However, not every videos are captioned. You can’t match the scale of created content.

I have a nuanced opinion on AI. They are part of corpothieve, tech bro that destroy our environement and promote fascism or occidental visio on the world. On the other hand, it is also a tool that can help deaf people in their daily life and scientific research.

Brainrot

I didn’t insult you. I shared my deaf experience. We come from different background…was it needed ? Why ?

I was also there in 00s. Yes, my mom also created subtitle for some french movies. I also created some subtitle for video, translated them…Yes, there was fansub, with a huge dedicated communities. They are awesome and they played a keypart on sharing other culture. Thank you to you all and them. 😊

Well that’s what i did on lemmy in the begginning.

So a middle ground is need or maybe we should work on a fediverse accessibility charter ? Something that set some rules for the whole fediverse :

• new software
• 3 years software
• various disabilities use case
• standarized colors scheme and font. So it would be easier to update them.

That’s a good start but i’m worried that most of us are lazy. They won’t change their habits unless you enforce it.

I wouldn’t condemn AI in this case. For example most of captioned video come from AI. Yes there is typo, lenghty text, missing text, nonsensical text but they do a fairly good job. No one have the time to create subtitle, and engaging professional may be costly.

Without AI, i wouldn’t be able to watch and understand videos, podcasts nor get a transcript.

Adding posts with no alt text to a predefined category or tag (such as Mastodon’s #Alt4Me) sounds like a reasonable alternative.

Yes you are right. :)

No CCP style shit please, we already have enough of that with Piefed

I don’t see why we should support content without alt text. There is people with various disability

I’m offering to void the post visibility :

• the post won’t receive upvote, so it won’t reach the top of your timeline
• user won’t be able to crosspost them.

I’m deaf and i think we should all do an effort to make the web accessible. Everyday, i have to adapt to your world.

People can give a small fraction of their time to improve accessibility. But you are right it maybe too harsh, we should find a middle ground that invite users making the web a place place rather them punishing them.

A simple one, i believe that softwares must enforce them rather letting users doing it.

Here is some ideas :

• refuse “image post” without alt text.
• when you upload picture, you must provide their alt text, if there is no alt text, the picture will be deleted.
• hide user post based on alt text and remove post score if the alt text is bad.
• deactivate crosspost on posts who don’t have alt text

It maybe harsh but i believe that’s the only way to reach accessibility.

Edit :

• alt text autogen + a reminder bot will help users
• The app fedilab (mastodon) has some good rules on post with alt text.
• collaborative alt text.

I ping @inlandempire@jlai.lu since he is part of the organizing team. :)

Instruction were unclear ? ^^’

Yes as @openstars@piefed.social pointed out, we would never allow threads to federate with our servers. We defederated when we learned that meta created thread.

They stole and sell our data under a false “consent” that no one read and feed AI with it. They are also far-right supporter (moderation team located in Texas under the pretence of free speech)

However we cannot garantee a full protection againt meta.

They made a quite beautiful website :)

Don’t forget mbin and nodebb, there is much more 😉

Good idea, it is more software neutral and give room to other fediverse software.

Why not : fedivision ?

I think you can create a new post about its future name :)

I’m spreading the word about the contest 😎

i really love those events : lemmyvision and canvas are the best moment in the fediverse. Thank for organizing it. :3

@loutre@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 🦦

De rien :) sinon je t’ai envoyé un message sur le fedihacks sur le zulip de piefed.social :)

(PieFed also has a feature called ‘Topics’, which aggregates posts from multiple communities into a single feed around a single theme, making jurisdiction a truly joyful mess: a single post can be made by someone on server A, posted into a community hosted on server B, and then aggregated into a Topic hosted on server C. What happens when rules between servers A, B and C conflict is anyone’s guess.)

Well, i think they don’t understand what is a topic (multicommunity) or how we handle the moderation part. 🤔

We moderate per community and its own instance first. So we don’t moderate post outside our instance unless we receive recuring repport. It’s the same for Lemmy, Mbin otherwise, we will have to track every users posts and comments.

And if a post in a community that appear in our topic contrevene our instance’s rule, we delete the post or remove the community from topic.

It may be complicated the first time you moderate but it’s easy once you understand.

Amazing ! Let’s spread it even more ! :3

Fediware, is it widely used ? Cool name :)
