On Twitter, it felt like people added image descriptions in a kind of "Oh fine I'll do it," kind of mood. Here, it's so hard to believe that people do it delightfully, kindfully, in a spirit of helping others not just because Twitter kept pushing it.
And I think that, if this attitude of actually wanting to help, wanting to work together, pushes from Mastodon to the rest of computing industry, I think things will be a lot better. Because this is a lot of what anti-ableism is. Not doing something begrudgingly, like Twitter, but doing it because it's good, because it helps, because if it were you on the other end, you'd want someone to do it for you.
