No.
(Que conste que lo intenté)
Wow was that really it?
My understanding is he’s the Potterying of the Fediverse. Trying to enshittify things in advance and somesuch, presumably to launch some sort of IPO? Heard a lot of drama re stuff like quote posts, or the suppression of “toot”.
No one have the time to create subtitle, and engaging professional may be costly.
Bitch I lived through the anime fansub times of the early 00s. Sometimes the fans had the subs ready before the episode came out, and they were top notch quality, even with localization considerations. And they were doing it for free (if still for the cred). AI can only ever hope to have that sort of dedication.
Like, really, what kind of brainrot do you have? We’ve had internationalized captions and content decades before we had AI.
Why not start with autotagging image posts with no alt text with something like Mastodon’s #Alt4Me? It summons the human element to help submit the data, instead of depending on AIs that we all know the stupidity and evil they do.
refuse “image post” without alt text.
Mostly* works, but increases significantly the barrier of entry to engage in “conversational” / “collquial” fediversing, and subjects the largest groups of people to the limitations of their tooling.
when you upload picture, you must provide their alt text, if there is no alt text, the picture will be deleted.
I assume this is for when you attach a picture to an otherwise text / link post? In that case, I think this is a very good path, yes, since in this ase the user who is adding the picture is already engaging in the extra work of getting it.
hide user post based on alt text and remove post score if the alt text is bad.
No CCP style shit please, we already have enough of that with Piefed.
Adding posts with no alt text to a predefined category or tag (such as Mastodon’s #Alt4Me) sounds like a reasonable alternative.
Less “platforms”, more “content in the platforms” tbh.
But quite definitively, local government agencies and municipal level agencies participating in their respective national instances. Defo reduces the dependency on Shitsites.
