Image Transcription: Twitter Post:


Elon Musk, @elonmusk

To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we've applied the following temporary limits

  • Verified accounts are limited to reaching 6000 posts/day
  • Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
  • New unverified accounts to 300/day

^I'm a human volunteer transcribing posts in a format compatible with screen readers, for blind and visually impaired users!^

I am amazed that this transcribing thing went from Reddit to the Fediverse. Good work ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] BornVolcano 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, that transcribing thing is volunteers, and I brought it with me haha

And thanks!

It seems to be a heavily enforced thing on Mastodon to provide alternate text for images for the same reason, although I'm admittedly bad about it myself. I wonder how well some of those AIs could do, they create pictures from text, so why not the other way around?

This post has over 600 comments atm. Imagine if this comment thread was all you got out of lemmy in a day lol.

[โ€“] BornVolcano 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a bit confused what you mean by this

If you were to apply Twitter's new throttling limits to lemmy you wouldn't be able to view this entire thread (each comment = 1 post in twitter terms).

[โ€“] BornVolcano 4 points 1 year ago

Lmao wait you're right

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you for this!

If you'd install the "show karma" user script, you might cause an integer overflow. Immensely good work that you are doing.

[โ€“] BornVolcano 5 points 1 year ago

Haha, back on reddit I got to about 90k, and a good portion of that was transcribing.

I'm actually kind of glad it doesn't show it here. I get to be judged by the content of my post, not by my accumulation of upvote points.
