Nothing special, just some potting soil and some cups.

Fill up with dirt, make a hole and drop the Brownies in and water lightly.

Alt-text is great and important, but nobody is required to put in extra time and effort on their own original post for such things, especially not on a casual post that maybe a few thousand people will interact with.

Some of us may struggle with reading, writing, visual processing, etc., or have to use tools that make adding additional accessability features a huge challenge. There are many sides to the same coin, not everything is done with malicious intent or an abilist mindset.

@Panamalt You are wrong.
#Accessibility is a virtue on Mastodon. There are quite a few #blind or visually impaired people who use this medium with their screen readers for precisely this reason. There are also quite a few users who neither favor nor boost posts with media without #alttext text.

First, this is not Mastodon. Idk the rules there, but to my knowledge, there is nothing requiring the use of alt-text on lemmy.world.

Second, this is a post asking about fucking weekend gardening plans, not some world news or national tragedy. The image is literally meaningless outside of the context of the post. If you can't interact with the image or you don't like something, then the post isn't for you. Move on and be a miserable asshole somewhere else.

@Panamalt Now I know why you don't have any followers.

Why the hell would I want any followers

@Panamalt Don't you want someone to read your toots?

I'm on Lemmy, a thread based discussion platform, aka. a forum. Followers are a massively stupid, meaningless waste of time here. Vastly prefer having legit conversations anyway.
