However, it looks like nodeinfo can be turned off entirely by the hubmin. At least hubzilla.org has a blank nodeinfo page.
always has a blank nodeinfo page. Most nodeinfo code has intentionally been removed. It understands nodeinfo, but it seems to send something else instead which it only understands itself, which is limited in what information it offers, and which isn't parsed by Fediverse stats/instance-listing websites.
By the way: Both Hubzilla and (streams) support both OAuth and OAuth2 both as a client and as a server. However, Hubzilla's documentation is painfully outdated in this regard parts of it still refer to Red, so they were last touched before the name change to Red Matrix. And (streams) doesn't have any documentation.
Also, Hubzilla and (streams) are the only Fediverse server applications with full, i.e. both server-side and client-side support for OpenWebAuth single sign-on.

They've had their own Mastodon instance for a while now, but it seems nobody at Mozilla actually follows any other Mastodon user. Otherwise they'd know a thing or two about Mastodon's high standards for image descriptions.
Do my image posts ever make it over to Misskey, or does it actually reject posts over 10,000 characters or so Because there are Mastodon users who don't even find these overwhelming, and I probably write the longest image descriptions in the whole Fediverse.

I myself wouldn't trust any AI to properly describe my own images, not after actually pitting one against my own hand-written image descriptions twice and seeing it fail miserably. But then again, describing my images in a way that I deem sufficiently is practically impossible for AI unless it's absolutely omniscient.

Yet, it feels like I've got much less reach in the Fediverse now than I used to have when I only had some 200 or 300 connections. This can only mean that especially lots of Mastodon users and maybe even entire Mastodon instances have muted, blocked or shadow-banned me. I wouldn't even be surprised if some public Mastodon instances have secretly muted or blocked hub.netzgemeinde.eu as a whole just because of my actions.
I can't really tell from the delivery reports, for one difference between Mastodon and Hubzilla is that Hubzilla rejects blocked or filtered messages at the server level whereas Mastodon accepts them and then discards them before they can be delivered to the muting, blocking or filtering recipient. Otherwise I think I could weed out a whole lot of connections.
And here's a list of reasons for which I've probably been muted, blocked or shadow-banned:
  1. Posting over 500 characters. Regardless of whether or not I put them behind a Mastodon-style content warning.
  2. Posting over 500 characters without a Mastodon-style content warning. That's because I simply can't put Mastodon-style content warnings on comments. Still, I'm pretty sure that just about everyone who has ever come across an over-500-character comment from me while using the official Mastodon app has taken countermeasures.
  3. A summary in the content warning. Mastodon's content warning field is the summary field, but 99% of all Mastodon users don't know.
  4. More than four hashtags. On Mastodon, more than four hashtags are spam, regardless of whether they're spread across a 150-character toot or a 10,000-character essay or at the very end of the post. Also, Mastodon largely doesn't know the concept of filtering hashtags, it knows filter-generated content warnings even less, and it knows the concept of adding hashtags in order to trigger filters another great deal less.
  5. A few may still be upset about text formatting, even though I guess many mobile apps still don't show it.
  6. Talking about virtual worlds, but the Mastodon users in question don't know how to filter.
  7. Talking about the Fediverse, but actually talking about the Fediverse outside of Mastodon and/or making Mastodon look bad in comparison to non-Mastodon Fediverse projects.
  8. Questioning Mastodon practices that are set in stone and never discussed on Mastodon such as certain aspects of describing images.

Essentially, this boils down to two points:

All because the Fediquette is entirely defined by Mastodon users, most of whom at that point didn't and often still don't know that the Fediverse is more than just Mastodon.

Also, if "Mastodon" means that the ActivityPub side is only built and tested against Mastodon and only supports Mastodon's features, chances are it might not work with dozens of other Fediverse projects, including but not limited to Pleroma and Akkoma as well as Misskey and its many forks.

It has become next to impossible to discuss content warnings in the Fediverse using hashtags.
#CW has been hijacked by amateur radio where it stands for continuous wave. The few exceptions are about TV and refer to the CW Network.
#CWS has recently been hijacked by a commercial advertising account.
#ContentWarning has recently been hijacked for posts about the eponymous video game.
And both #ContentWarnings and #ContentWarningMeta are too long to type on a screen keyboard.
Not to mention that Mastodon is largely falling back into Twitter mannerisms, i.e. neglecting hashtags altogether, and most of the rest of the Fediverse has never had a hashtag culture to begin with.

Wie detailliert sollten sie sein

Da gibt's keinen Konsens. Das kann ich aus Erfahrung sagen, auch wenn ich fast kein Feedback bekomme.
Ich schreibe die mit Abstand lngsten Bildbeschreibungen im ganzen Fediverse und halte das auch gerechtfertigt. Einige feiern sie tatschlich, auch wenn es bis zu einer Stunde dauert, eine davon zu lesen. Inzwischen wundert mich das regelrecht.
Andere, kurioserweise durchweg ohne nennenswerte Behinderung, sind strikt dagegen und sagen auch mal, absolut jedes Bild lt sich adquat in 200 Zeichen oder weniger beschreiben. Und wer etwas nicht versteht, soll eben fragen oder googlen.
Eigentlich ist auf den Bildern meist noch mehr zu sehen, als ich schreibe. Und ich schreibe tendenziell viel.

Ich versuche tatschlich, alles zu beschreiben, was sich innerhalb des Bildes befindet und nicht komplett verdeckt ist. Allerdings zeigen meine Bilder ein so obskures Nischenthema, da meines Erachtens so detaillierte Beschreibungen gerechtfertigt sind. Nur dauert das eben seine Zeit.
Wenn die BildBeschreibungen nicht wren, wrde ich mehr Fotos zeigen (insbesondere auf pixelfed).

Kenne ich auch. Ich htte eigentlich viel zu zeigen. Aber die Bildbeschreibungen, wie ich sie schreibe, fressen derart Zeit und Energie, da zwischen meinen letzten zwei Bildposts mehr als drei Monate lagen.
Das letzte Mal habe ich mir schon berlegt, was ich zeigen knnte, was interessant ist, aber nicht so aufwendig zu beschreiben. Ich lag mal wieder komplett falsch und schrieb letztlich ber zwei Tage verteilt meine mit Abstand lngste Bildbeschreibung.

Heat Check: Discussing Heats free agents and Jimmy Butler


does a consistent tree require a central resource to define the tree

The central resource is the actor that started the tree.
Traditionally, all replies go to this actor and this actor alone, and this actor distributes them to all other participants.
The whole tree with all its nodes is ideally owned by the actor who started it.
Does it require everyone have access to all nodes in the tree

Obviously, the actor who started the tree must not be muted or blocked, otherwise the entire tree is inaccessible.
As for comments, I'm not sure what happens when a blocked actor replies, and someone else replies to this reply. Most likely, the reply from the blocked actor will not appear because it still came from the blocked actor the actor who started the tree only forwarded it automatically. But I can't say how replies to a blocked reply are handled.

even for forums, does the Fediverse really need a consistent tree

Yes, because nodeBB, Flarum, Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed, Sublinks, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and everything else that knows what a context is will interact with each other. They often already do.
It doesn't make sense for each one of them to try and patch incompatibilites with the others one by one, all by themselves, without even talking to each other. That might only cause more incompatibilites, not to mention loads of extra code just to address the quirks of individual projects.
It's better to have one agreed-upon standard.
I understand wanting a consistent tree, so everyone has access to all the posts, but I think the Fediverse focus on safety should override an attempt at consistency

Safety can and certainly will come with consistency.
Look at Mike Macgirvin 's , the result of 14 years of work that started in 2010 with Mistpark, now known as Friendica. (streams) knows what a context is. (streams) can hold a discussion together. (streams) supports groups/forums. And so did all its predecessors, two of which (Friendica, Hubzilla) are still alive and maintained.
At the same time, (streams) has to be the safest place in the whole Fediverse. Not necessarily by culture or policy, but by technology. (streams) has ramped up its permission controls beyond what Hubzilla has to offer, and Hubzilla's permission controls are already extensive. In the meantime, Mastodon and everything else in the Fediverse that's based on ActivityPub doesn't even know what permissions are.
On Mastodon, all you have is mute and block for users or instances. Hubzilla goes much, much further, (streams) goes even further. Imagine being able to delete posts from a thread that you've started (Hubzilla, (streams)) or even banning users from participating in your thread ((streams)). Imagine being able to define who exactly is allowed to send you posts, who exactly is allowed to see your profile (or which one of your multiple profiles even), who exactly is allowed to comment on your posts, who exactly is allowed to send you DMs etc. etc.
Now comes the consistency part: Mike is right now working on porting some of (streams)' key technologies to ActivityPub, namely conversation containers, nomadic identity (currently exclusive to Hubzilla and (streams)) and permissions on (streams)' level.
All this is planned to become possible using only ActivityPub with a number of already existing FEPs. This means that any project that mainly or only uses ActivityPub can adopt all these features in the same way as (streams). Even Mastodon could, and the only way that'd stand in the way of adoption would be Gargron's unwillingness to adopt anything developed by someone else.
But if Mastodon did adopt all this, you would be able to moderate your own threads. You would have more power over your own connections and threads then than Mastodon moderators and admins have now.

#Long #LongPost #CWLong #CWLongPost #FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #Fediverse #Threadiverse #Hubzilla #Streams #(streams) #PermissionsTIL that (streams) has a defined character limit of 24 million characters, but until now, the database limits the size of the object to a bit over 65,000 characters. The latter limit is being raised for new installations, and existing servers can raise that limit, too.
That's over 130 vs 48,000 Mastodon toots or more than 20 vs 8,000 Misskey notes.
Mind you, (streams) counts characters differently from Mastodon. Links aren't always 23 characters, they're as long as the URL plus the link code. The embedding code for in-line images, image URLs and alt-text included, is part of the post text. In general, all BBcode/HTML/Markdown counts into the character count. I'm not sure whether titles and summaries add to the overall character number, but at 24 million characters, that shouldn't make a difference.
Unfortunately, I no longer have the delivery report of the one time I exceeded the 65,000 character limit so I don't know how (streams) handles longer posts from outside.
The long post triggered something we haven't seen before... we allow the post body to be up to 24M, but the obj is capped at 65K. This was acceptable a year ago, but with conversation containers we put the entire post body into the object when sending a collection activity. So you're getting capped at 65K. You can change the item.obj column in the database and make it 'mediumtext'. I'll put this in the install database schema for new installs.
#Long #LongPost #CWLong #CWLongPost #FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #QuotePost #QuoteTweet #QuoteToot #QuoteBoost #CharacterLimit #CharacterLimits This, however, is exactly how Mike Macgirvin 's creations have been working since Mistpark was launched 14 years ago.
This is how all of Mistpark's offspring works. This is how Friendica works, this is how Hubzilla works, this is how what's in the streams repository works. The thread starter owns the thread. All comments go to the thread starter, and the thread starter distributes them to all participants in the thread, mentioned or not.
Especially in (streams)' case, this goes all the way to moderation. Since the thread starter owns the whole thread including all comments, the thread starter even has moderational power over the thread. The thread starter can both delete comments regardless of who posted them. and ban actors from participating in a thread. On Hubzilla and probably also on Friendica, the thread starter can still delete any comments.
For someone who only knows Twitter and Mastodon, this sounds awfully complicated. In reality, it's an absolute no-brainer because this is exactly how Facebook works.
Also, unlike Mastodon, Mike's creations give you a counter and list of unread activities in your stream in addition to the counter and list of notifications. You know when someone has replied to you even if that someone hasn't mentioned you. You even know when someone has participated in a thread that you've seen before even if you have neither been mentioned nor replied to.
All this makes discussions with more than two participants a great deal more convenient than the Mastodon way. In fact, both Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) have always had groups/forums as a feature which are nothing but accounts (Friendica)/channels (Hubzilla, (streams)) with particular settings.
Again, this is neither new nor experimental. It predates Mastodon by almost six years, and it has been in daily stable use for longer than Mastodon.

Three reasons.
One, there's one Mastodon bot that scrapes cat pictures from various sources, slaps AI-generated alt-text on them with no human interaction, churns them out hourly and adds the #AltText hashtag because they've got alt-text.
Two, #AltText should be used for discussing alt-text rather than image posts with alt-text which is why hardly any human user puts that hashtag on image posts.
Three, hardly anyone seems to discuss alt-text anymore. That, or more and more Mastodon users have fallen back into Twitter mode and stopped using hashtags altogether. And outside of Mastodon, almost nobody knows about or cares for alt-text anyway.
Thus, the bot-generated cat pictures dominate that hashtag.

Ambience at Hanoi's 1000-year Anniversary

It's technologically impossible to add alt-text to someone else's media in someone else's posts. This is extremely unlikely to change, and when that someone else is on certain non-Mastodon instances, this will definitely never change.
The only thing you can do is reply with an alt-text, add one or multiple of these hashtags: #Alt4U, #Alt4You, #AltText4U, #AltText4You, and hope the user gets the cue and adds the missing alt-text.
#Long #LongPost #CWLong #CWLongPost #FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #AltText #AltTextMeta #CWAltTextMeta Does it absolutely have to be as close to Mastodon as possible
If not, allow me to introduce you to . Created and developed down under by Mike Macgirvin and the result of 14 years of evolution, longer than Mastodon has been around.
Main advantage: no media caching whatsoever. (streams) simply doesn't do that, neither do its predecessors, Friendica and Hubzilla.
Other advantages include nomadic identity, security and permissions on a level unimaginable for your average Mastodon user, many extra features and a smaller server footprint than Mastodon.
Okay, fair warnings, disadvantage #1: It has to re-download media over and over again.
Disadvantage #2: It comes with its own built-in WebDAV cloud storage, and people might be tempted to use it as such.
Disadvantage #3: It handles nothing like Mastodon. I'd say switching from Twitter to Mastodon is easier than switching from Mastodon to (streams), also due to (streams) not trying to mimic Twitter.
Disadvantage #4: no Mastodon API support which means absolutely no mobile apps available whatsoever. You can use it as a PWA instead.

Wanderer Fr viele, die nur Mastodon kennen, sind Mastodon, Akkoma, Misskey, Friendica, Hubzilla usw. nichts weiter als verschiedene Webinterfaces fr dasselbe System darunter und haben denselben Stellenwert wie Mona, IceCubes, Tusky, Fedilab & Co. fr Smartphones.
Da Friendica unter der grafischen Oberflche vllig anders funktioniert als Mastodon und Hubzilla sogar radikal anders, ist vllig unvorstellbar, wenn man bisher nur Mastodon benutzt hat.
Auerdem sind es typischerweise Friendica- und Hubzilla-Nutzer, die immer wieder auf Mastodon erwhnen, da das Fediverse nicht nur Mastodon ist. Und dabei treffen sie dann auf Mastodon-Nutzer, die nichts davon hren wollen.

Who needs when you have a ...

As for myself: Before users who can't see images find my image descriptions lacking because they've got no idea what whatever my image shows looks like, I add all of this.
Then again, I'm not limited to 1,500 characters in alt-text. I always give a short visual description in alt-text which also mentions that there's a full, detailed description in the post itself. And for posts I don't have any character limit except for the 100,000 characters above which Mastodon rejects external posts.
And this raises a new question: Is it worse if an image description is useless because it lacks information that a reader would love to know or that a reader needs to know to understand the image Or is it worse if an image description is useless because hardly anyone is willing to spend one hour reading the description of one image

You can't write individual descriptions for individual people anyway. You have to satisfy everyone with one and the same description.
And not everyone who relies on image descriptions was born blind. In fact, there are sighted people who need image descriptions (images turned off due to low mobile quota, bad mobile network that won't load images, text-only terminal client that can't even display images as ASCII art). Including colours helps them more than it irritates fully blind people.

Erstmal ber die Syntax an sich, die praktisch undokumentiert ist bis auf ein bichen im Code.
Auerdem kann man zumindest in einer Whitelist lose Schlsselwrter nicht mit Filtersyntax mischen. Das ist nirgendwo dokumentiert, sondern vielmehr quasi per leidvoller Eigenerfahrung reverse-engineert. In der Blacklist habe ich das noch nicht getestet.
Das Hauptproblem ist wahrscheinlich: Schlsselwrter sind immer mit ODER verknpft. Filtersyntaxzeilen sind aber, wie es scheint, zumindest in der Whitelist mit UND verknpft.
Eine bunte Kombination aus Schlsselwrtern und Filtersyntax fhrt dazu, da immer das ausgewertet wird, was am Ende steht. Steht am Ende ein Schlsselwort, werden die Schlsselwrter mit ODER verknpft ausgewertet und die Syntaxzeilen gar nicht. Steht am Ende Filtersyntax, werden die Schlsselwrter nicht ausgewertet, dafr aber die Filtersyntax mit UND.
Ein Beispiel, das berhaupt nicht funktioniert: Du willst nur Posts durchlassen, die eins von mehreren Schlsselwrtern enthalten. Aber du willst nur Posts filtern, keine Kommentare und keine DMs.
Du kannst DMs ausschlieen mit itemprivate == 0, und du kannst die Filterung beschrnken auf den Anfang eines Thread mit itemthreadtop == 1. Das kannst du aber nicht mit Schlsselwrtern kombinieren.
Dazu kommt dann auch noch: Wenn du mehrere body =-Zeilen hast, sind die auch mit UND verknpft, die Posts kommen also nur durch, wenn sie alle Schlsselwrter enthalten.
Eine body =-Zeile mit RegEx geht auch nicht, weil Filtersyntax nicht mit RegEx kombinierbar ist.
Mit einem Schlsselwort geht es. Mit mehreren geht es nicht.
Ich glaube, ich werde mal wieder ein Feature Request einreichen, obwohl Mario kaum dazu kommt, auch nur die Bugs auszubgeln.

It is now implemented on from 2015 as well as from 2021.
Currently, nomadic identity requires special protocols, and it's limited to within Hubzilla or within (streams). But Mike is working on implementing it across project borders and using only ActivityPub right now.

The prompt was, "Describe the image in detail." Half a minute later, the result happens to still be short enough for a Mastodon alt-text.
The image depicts a modern architectural structure with a distinctive design. The building features a large, curved roof that appears to be made of a reflective material, possibly glass or polished metal. The roof is supported by several tall, slender columns that are evenly spaced and rise from the ground to the roof's edge. The structure has a circular emblem on the front, which includes a stylized letter 'M' and a series of concentric circles, suggesting it might be a logo or emblem of some sort.
The building is situated on a landscaped area with a well-maintained lawn and a few trees. There is a paved walkway leading up to the entrance of the building, which is not visible in the image. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds, indicating fair weather conditions. The overall style of the image is a digital rendering or a photograph of a 3D model, as indicated by the smooth surfaces and the absence of any visible texture or imperfections that would be present in a real-world photograph. There are no visible texts or brands that provide additional context about the building's purpose or location.

First of all, the roof isn't curved in the traditional sense. The end piece kind of is, but the roof behind it is more complex. Granted, unlike me, the AI can't look behind the roof end, so it doesn't know.
Next, the roof end isn't reflective. It isn't even glossy. And brushed stainless steel shouldn't really reflect anything.
The AI fails to count the columns that hold the roof end, and it claims they're evenly spaced. They're anything but.
There are three letters "M" on the emblem, but none of them is stand-alone.There is visible text on the logo that does provide additional context: "Universal Campus", "patefacio radix" and "MMXI". Maybe LLaVA would have been able to decipher at least the former, had I fed it the image at its original resolution of 2100x1400 pixels instead of the one I've uploaded with a resolution of 800x533 pixels. Decide for yourself which was or would have been cheating.
"Well-maintained lawn". Ha. The lawn is painted on, and the ground is so bumpy that I wouldn't call it well-maintained.
The entrance of the building is visible. In fact, three of the five entrances are. Four if you count the one that can be seen through the glass on the front. And the main entrance is marked with that huge structure around it.
The "few scattered clouds" are mostly one large cloud.
At least LLaVA is still capable of recognising a digital rendering and tells us how. Just you wait until PBR is out, LLaVA.

On Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams), people hate Mastodon because Mastodon is outdated, lacklustre and utterly, utterly underequipped intentionally by design.
For example, all three can produce full-blown long-form blog posts with absolutely all bells and whistles of long-form blogging. All kinds of text formatting, all kinds of lists, tables, any number of embedded in-line images, what-have-you. If you can do it on WordPress, you can do it on Friendica and Hubzilla and (streams).
And then comes Mastodon and staunchly, flat-out refuses to support anything that isn't old-school, original gangsta, Twitter-like, bare-bone, minimalistic microblogging. It uses an "HTML sanitiser" to completely mangle your precious posts before showing them. It even strips the embedded in-line images out.
If you want your images to make it to Mastodon, you have to automatically attach copies of them to your posts as file attachments because that's something that Mastodon understands. And what does Mastodon do Only import a measly four of them and throw the others away anyway.
It's a wonder that Mastodon introduced support for a select few text formatting elements, including quotes, with version 4.0 last year. But I kid you not, there are Mastodon instance admins who stubbornly refuse to update to Mastodon 4.x because they reject even these features, because they're "un-Mastodon-like". Oh, and Mastodon 4.x still doesn't know things like strikethrough, text colour, text size, numbered lists or tables. And it still strips in-line images out.
This is not a case of "we'd like to, but unfortunately, our engine can't be made capable of that, sorry". It's a case of deliberate refusal. Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) perceive this as Mastodon flipping them the bird. Like, "Fuck you bitches, what you want ain't no old-skool microblogging, we ain't gonna do that!"
On top of that come masses of ignorant and obnoxious Mastodon users. My estimation is that 50% of all Mastodon users think the Fediverse is only Mastodon, and so does everyone in their respective bubble. Most of the rest only knows the Fediverse outside of Mastodon by a bunch of names, but no more than that. Many of them actually believe that Gargron has invented the Fediverse, and everything that isn't Mastodon is bolted onto Mastodon as an add-on or actually only an alternate UI for Mastodon with some extra features. Like, whether you use Mitra or Hubzilla, or whether you use Mona or Tusky, it's all Mastodon underneath.
They don't know that there's stuff out there in the Fediverse that's nothing like Mastodon. And they don't really care. And they don't know either that this other stuff has its own culture that differs from Mastodon's. Many of those who do know that there's more to the Fediverse than Mastodon want to force Mastodon's culture upon all the Fediverse. And with that, I don't only mean that all posts that end up on someone's Mastodon timelines have to conform to Mastodon's culture, but that everything that happens on non-Mastodon instances has to conform to Mastodon's culture.
If Mastodon users don't like it, you shouldn't be allowed to do it on Mitra or Friendica or Hubzilla or wherever. For some Mastodon users, this includes limiting all posts and comments to no more than 500 characters. Even if what you use doesn't have a character limit. Oh, and no quote-posts and no text formatting etc. etc., even if your kin have done that since times when Eugen Rochko was still a school kid, six years before Mastodon was made.
At the same time, Mastodon users are fully convinced that the reason why Mastodon is the biggest is because Mastodon is the best Fediverse project, even feature-wise.
Now, if you want to discuss the whole Fediverse, Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams), in spite of being amongst the best places in the Fediverse to discuss anything by underlying technology, you can't do that on either. The reason is because their users actually don't know that much about Mastodon and its culture. Most of them have never come into touch with it that much or at all. You first have to explain it all to them. Many won't even want to hear anything about it even then, and those who do still can't believe what you're telling them.
The case with Lemmy is a different one. Just like Mastodon almost entirely consists of former Twitter users who escaped when Musk bought Twitter, Lemmy almost entirely consists of former Redditors who escaped when Reddit was enshittified by trying to charge third-party frontends $20,000,000 to access the Reddit API.
However, all they really know is Reddit where they used to be and Lemmy where they are now. They haven't also been on Twitter, and thus, they haven't also fled to Mastodon.
There's . "Community" means "subreddit" on Lemmy. And this one is named "Fediverse". One should expect there to be people who are at least halfway competent about the Fediverse, right People with whom you can discuss the Fediverse, and who know what you're talking about
Hahahaha... no.
Nobody in that Lemmy community knows anything about the Fediverse outside Lemmy and maybe the rest of the Threadiverse. They know that Mastodon exists. They know the name Mastodon. But that's all. They absolutely don't know anything else about Mastodon. They literally don't even know what the default Mastodon Web interface looks like because literally not even a single one of them has ever even been bothered to go visit mastodon.social and take a look at it, not even only once.
If you want to discuss Mastodon matters with them, you first have to take a deeeeeeep breath. And then you have to explain everything to them, down to the very very basics. And you probably have to explain certain things several times over because they're too hard to grasp from a Reddit/Lemmy point of view.
If you want to discuss the Fediverse beyond Lemmy and the Threadiverse and Mastodon, forget it. You'd have to explain even more.
At least the Lemmy users don't try to force Lemmy's culture upon the rest of the Fediverse. For one, most of them know that the Fediverse is not only Lemmy. And besides, nonetheless, the idea of Lemmy connecting to something that isn't part of the Threadiverse is still alien to them.

So why is it impossible to discuss accessibility in Fediverse posts
Because Mastodon users have the Mastodon way set in stone in their minds. Because they cannot imagine that it could possibly go any other way. Or why it should.
And everyone else either takes Mastodon's approach for another Mastodon-specific fad that they're going to ignore like all the other fads that came from Mastodon. Or they have never even heard of it. See Lemmy where the idea of adding alt-text to anything if you aren't a Web developer is completely out of this world and utterly unimaginable.
