@jalefkowit they're saying it's "easily the worst post on the site" and posting gifs
Pretty nice to see that every reply is dunking on them from a different angle.
@jalefkowit self-censorship 101
@jalefkowit can someone explain this to me in plain english? this sound like trump output.
@kali They believe that their messaging can't be read by the government as long as it's text inside an image. Which is silly.
@jalefkowit
when you inhaled too much toxic fumes from the glue you used while putting your "self-appointed resistance" aesthetic together.
encoding text as images (or as sound) is really ineffective at keeping information away from automated systems these days; yeah the trump admin is lazy, but that is exactly why they are just gonna feed everything into claude or chatGPT or whatever, and these things can read text in images. they are mostly just making things harder for people who rely on alt text for one reason or another. and the moment you have any amount of prominence (which is unavoidable if you are making yourself a serious threat), no amount of hiding behind jpegs of text will keep you safe.
not that the trump administration at the moment has the effective capacity to round up every single regime critic; they would like to, but it would also create more backlash. their best strategy for their goals is still to pick off people and groups they declared enemies one by one, until no one is left to speak up. the easiest way to foil their plans is... voting in the midterms to take political power from them. maybe not very exiting to do (and there is no glory in prevention), but relatively easy and painless, and it would make every single possible subsequent step easier to do.
@jalefkowit these clowns should renounce using that name, 'stolen valour' and all that....
@jalefkowit ah yes, well-known infosec best practice “security through absurdity”
@jalefkowit thanks for putting alt text in the screenshot of the Blooski picture post with the shit take about alt text it is appreciated
The top reply to that better be the alt text
(If you are so worried about fascists finding your posts that you deliberately try to make them less accessible and you're posting *on Blooski* ...or fedi TBH...you are a silly person who deserves to be discovered)
@msh It is, and the reply with alt text is demolishing the original post in terms of numbers

@jalefkowit I clicked thinking this would be a parody in context, but worse, it’s a reply to a post containing alt text of the poster’s previous in alt texted image.
@jalefkowit here on mastodon we are proud to make our explicit and actionable threats against US officials accessible to disabled users
@jalefkowit Already funny just like this, but even more hilarious once I clicked through and saw the earlier messages in the thread
“What you miserable shitlibs can’t seem to grasp is that being ableist is actually praxis”
I felt like Marge Gunderson in FARGO as I was reading that. "Not sure I agree with ya a hundred percent on your opsec there, Lou"
@jalefkowit Poe's law is alive and well
@jalefkowit beware of Streisand's Alttext...
