@hosford42 @hellomiakoda It would actually be easier for whoever handles Reich's social media accounts to copy and paste the text rather than to produce a screenshot.
@foolishowl @hosford42 @hellomiakoda And he's been observing the obvious for how many decades now, while NEVER actually taking the next logical step to call out capitalism itself. He just walks up to the sheepdog fenceline, looks sad, and paces back again.
@violetmadder @foolishowl @hellomiakoda I think this serves a purpose in the larger picture. He's still pointing the way, whether he knows it or not. But he's doing so from a perspective that is further from the destination, which allows him to connect to people even further from it than him and move them this way. Imperfect allies, and all that...
@muhkayoh Some instances have a 500 character limit on posts, so you either create an annoyingly long thread, or screen cap the message and alt text as much of the message as you can, which is 1500 characters. Iโm guilty of posting multiple photos with lengthy alt texts to convey a thought. In my John Mulaney voice - โIโm Sorry"
@Gargron @muhkayoh Iโm good with 500 on posts and 1500 on alt text. If I need to be more long-winded than that, I should put it on a blog. Itโs an exercise in economizing words.
Hi Robert, is there anything our team at Mastodon could do to convince you to post text on Mastodon and share screenshots of it to other platforms if necessary? Mastodon is highly accessible for sharing outside the platform and has a higher 500 character limit.
@Gargron Robert, I really value getting your insight without having to touch horrible platforms like FB. Please consider adding ALT text or posting text.๐๐ผ
The @rbreich account is one of the most frustrating accounts on Mastodon - no alt text, always screenshots. It's either a bot, or a superfan - but either way it can't be bothered with alt text, which kinda goes against the spirit of fedi of be accessibility and inclusivity

Frankly I could do without a "celebrity" posting trivially obvious points in such an obnoxious way.

STOP POSTING SCREEN CAPS OF TEXT WITHOUT ALT TEXT. IN FACT, SKIP THE SCREEN CAP ALTOGETHER AND JUST POST THE FUCKING TEXT.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
