The stepping vs jumping on a rake meme, showing a stock image render of a person stepping on a rake and having it smack them in the face on top, and an image of a man doing a skateboard trick with a rake below, also landing on it.

The man stepping on a rake is captioned "programming for the first time".

The man performing a trick with the rake is captioned "programming for the hundredth time".

I'm not sure how well this works, I upvote the effort, but for someone who's eye deprived, they'd have to click on the post, and then have their screen reader read through all the comments, before they get to your one describing what's even going on.

Honestly I would love to know what the % of people who take part in piefed.social use screen readers. It has to be in the 0.2% percentile, and that's conservative I think.

I think the idea is that this might get upvoted a lot and turns out to be the first comment under this post.

Also it’s copy-pastable for OP.

My ideal hope is that by modelling good behaviour, I can encourage more OPs to provide transcriptions themselves in the body or the alt-text field.

If OPs take my transcriptions and edit it into the body, that's pretty good too. Especially if more people take up the work so transcriptions get posted on posts that I don't do myself.

The algorithm is far too fickle for me to have even considered my comment getting upvoted to the top. Good if it happens I guess, but not in my consideration.
