   Stumbled upon this:
   https://whitebluewhite.info/english

   > The white-blue-white flag is a symbol of free #Russia. This flag was coined by the online community opposed to the Russian army's invasion of Ukraine. The very next day after the first mention of it on Twitter, Russians abroad took to peaceful protests with a white-blue-white flag instead of the current Russian flag

   Can anyone with more context say if this is something that can be promoted? As in, no nationalist/*phobic undertones in history of that symbol?

     The white-blue-white flag seems legit, and is already banned by Russian authorities — which I must say is as good an endorsement as it gets:

     @rysiek
     What does the label under it say in the ban graphic, if you have the time to check?

     @meena @rysiek @feonixrift Wait, how come that, between EXIF tags and other types of metadata in image files, it's not the norm that authoring tools maintain a copy of all text (preserved across layer operations, & possibly culled to visible at export) and store it as metadata on export?

     It would solve a *lot* of problems with images authored by non-tech-savvy people (or uncaring, or in a hurry) - not just accessibility, but also e.g. recovering text from a highly compressed JPEG that should've been a PNG.

     @feonixrift @meena oh, apologies, I kind of assumed screen readers would be able to deal with this. Should have known better.

     @feonixrift @rysiek it's literally just flag white-blue-white:
