   I don't want to harsh anyone's mellow, but all the #python folks posting source to social media using https://carbon.now.sh/ - Your code DOES look totally cool! But people with disabilities can't read it :( You can't read an image with a screen reader. You also can't zoom the font if you're visually disabled like me. We should find better solutions that don't lock whole swaths of people our of sharing the love :) #accessibility matters! Thanks for listening.

     @charlie_root Sorry, not buying into your logic here. If I care enough to share source code on social media, I care enough to want disabled people to be able to read it too. If you don't, or think I'm "complaining" because I do, then uh, rock on with your bad self I guess? But I'm not on board.

     @feoh don't want to sound harsh too but:

     "Carbon makes it easy to create and share beautiful images of your source code. "

     It will inevitably put you on the side road. :/
     But maybe twitter/mastodon could enforce/remind users to fill in the ALT tag with a comprehensive line for disabled people.

     But please, don't go on the "woke" trend of complaining for everything.
     "carbon-ed" tweets are simply not for everyone one. To be honest, you won't miss anything anyway. :)

     @charlie_rocial.linux.pizza Congratulations you've found a way to include mean spirited conservative rhetoric in a discussion around accessible technology!

     You deserve a merit badge! Or... Something!

     @charlie_root As a matter of fact, you have earned the distinction of being the first person I have EVER blocked on the fediverse! I think congratulations are in order there as well. Buh-bye!
