![Bsky user “White Rose Resistance” (@whiteroseresistance.org) posts an image of a wall of text. It reads:
STOP DEMANDING WE POST ALT-TEXT
or posting alt text on our behalf
As we have explained ad nauseum [sic]: In September 2025 POSOTUS signed an executive order which was intended to go after the Antifa boogeyman but, in practice, wrongfully declares organizations like ours to be terrorist groups.
Fortunately, the Orange regime and its tech bro sycophants are relatively lazy, and when searching for offenders online priority is given to text scraping far, far
more often than image interpretation.
In short we have good reason to not use alt text.
Quit fucking things up for us.](https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/117/524/792/540/278/659/original/374ea204fe4fe089.webp)

Yisssss!! LMAO
@jalefkowit At considerable risk of beating a dead horse -- I ran that image through tesseract, which is what, 30-40 year old technology? And I get (truncated for char limit):

@jalefkowit this whole thread made me laugh very hard, which is good, because I am pretty sure that is the only useful function this discourse can serve
@jalefkowit What next, you want to be taken seriously?
@jalefkowit Poe's law is alive and well
@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.
