I love the #videos people share on #mastodon, and I love the fact that they're frequently not just links to #youtube .
I do not love
- No time indication in the web app (am I in for 30 seconds or 30 minutes?)
- No captions
- Posting vague titles like "Wow!" to a video of people talking
I'm hearing disabled so I skip about 95% of the videos I see posted without captions or a description of what's in the video. I know #alttext for videos is probably a ridiculous concept (done by individuals, by hand, anyway), but a brief summary of content or even a solid hint would help; at least I'd have an idea of whether it was worth finding headphones or earbuds, pairing them with the laptop or phone, and investing in that whole process. Without any info, it's rarely worth the effort.
