Based on some of the responses I got to this recent smuggie on other platforms.

Also, climate chage

You wish reality was different and yet it’s not?

Typical hypocrisy!

Yeah that’s what I thought too, thanks for confirmation!

Thanks a lot, I appreciate this!

I actually do plan to make a c/smugideologyman on lemmy.

Give me a week or two, I have other things to sort first, then I’ll get to it. Already have the okay from the subreddit’s mod team!

Do you think there’d be a point to making a separate c/community just for my comics/content?

…now imagine if the USA had done the same for Trump between 2020 and 2024

The issue with smaller instances is it becomes hard for people to discover them.

But then this community here is doing fine so…

It should.

Actually I see nothing stopping me from doing it other than choosing the correct instance.

Would lemmy.world be the right place?

You know what they say in France: never get off the train at mole station.

Although your solution is objectively the best, drawing your own version of memes is a pretty fun activity!

While this is a good idea, I’ll do the silly devil’s advocate thingy by asking: how about writing impaired people?

As a concrete example, I’ve had to accompany someone with ALS through the final months of their lives. They liked to share their content online (they were a photographer), but it sometimes took all their physical energy for one day to simply upload a couple images on social media. Adding alt text would have been a strong no-no for them.

This example is an extreme edge case, I doubt such a person would share lefty memes on Lemmy, but I’m sure there’s less extreme cases around of people who might have solid accessibility reasons for not being able to write alt texts (unfamiliarity with english? strong dysgraphia? multiple sclerosis?).

Anyway, this whole devils advocate thing aside, this is a good rule. Ignore the haters and do it.
