finally following up on this… 
Here is the list of problems that our instance has identified with the Mastodon 4.0 upgrade, and how much work I think it will take to address these issues. I think we will probably want to fix all the things which aren’t labelled “Hard” before we merge in the latest changes here.

Comments welcome!

The culture of describing media on Mastodon is something to be treasured - there's a reason a lot of us hesitate to share undescribed images. The fediverse has a pretty thriving disabled community, and image descriptions often convey more focused information that someone who (for example) can't parse error messages might not otherwise understand.
A lot of media is hard to describe - we never know what to say when we post music, for example - but even something cursory can give context.

Gonna reshare our image description advice thread from April - feel free to share the above around with anyone who might need it!
Alternatively, share these other resources on the same subject:
- @AmaBagins's thread from a Digital Accessibility Tester perspective, which has a bunch more resources: https://mastodon.art/@AmaBagins/109321545433041372
- @M0YNG's extensive guide, which covers lots of different fediverse UIs: https://m0yng.uk/Image-descriptions-on-the-Fediverse/
- @Curator's short and sweet guide for artists: https://mastodon.art/@Curator/108197411515405526
Writing image descriptions can be a hard habit to pick up, and it can be tricky to do, but it makes a difference and you can get good at it and develop your own style.
Thanks for your time!

@gwenprime the association between HRT and ‘patching your code’ makes it a clear winner for me even if some of the other options might have slightly better aesthetics
@kenchan@fedibird.com im glad it was helpful! people can have all sorts of stuff going on that impacts how & when they communicate so i try not to assume too much (not that thats necessarily easy haha)
if its really bothering you, you can always ask and see what they say
@kenchan@fedibird.com in cases where i’m friend, friend genuinely likes you but just has a terrible combo of executive processing issues + introversion that frequently precludes texting first
Todays #DecRecs is for https://stickerguy.com because i’ve had this glow in the dark sticker from @pagrus up for like two years and, even tho the location means its only getting fairly dim LED light, it somehow still glows bright enough to read from across the room

poll that i'm intentionally doing here and not @MindmeshLink
do you identify yourself as "disabled" primarily *to other people* in any context
like, not just saying *what disability* you have, ie "depressed", but do you tell other people "i'm disabled" or put "disabled" or "cripple" or any variant of it in your bios online
i am not asking "are you disabled and do you identify at all with the concept of disability" to be clear, this is a social phenomenon wondering, and nondisabled people are included and should say "never"
@troisroyaumes i dont have a source saved unfortunately but that sounds like mian xiang stuff — essentially placement / shape / etc of beauty marks is supposed to be reflective of certain aspects of a persons character or fate

#DecRecs copperbadge rarely needs introduction, but i’ll attempt to give him one nonetheless—sam does an excellent job blending his own style with more period appropriate language in this, the result of which is a lot of enjoyable wordplay and other turns of phrase without ever distracting from the narrative
inspired by the bit in the cold open where aziraphale and crowley watch a rehearsal of hamlet, though it’d work well enough as a pre-canon interlude for the book instead if you prefer
A Bard In The Hand (12049 words) by copperbadge
Chapters: 4/4
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale (Good Omens)/William Shakespeare, Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)/William Shakespeare, Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)Additional Tags: Historical, References to Shakespeare, Threesome - M/M/M, Trans Male Character, Twelfth Night - Freeform, References to Hamlet, Comedy, RPF, Mention of COVID-19, mention of pandemic
Summary:
Aziraphale finds a new dinner spot, Crowley invents marketing, and William Shakespeare gets extremely lucky.
pagination skips do still work on tumblr blogs w/infinite scroll enabled incidentally so congrats, we’re officially doing worse than tumblr on this lol
…..and it doesn’t work for mastodon 4+ because profiles have fucking infinite scroll now
so if you want to go look at my old posts feel free i guess but it wont work for a decent chunk of people following me
