Sounds like they ran into similar technical issues as @baatl.mastod.one (which hasn't functioned for months, and, frankly, is unlikely to ever work again)

sorry that the labeler has been down so much for the last couple weeks—just made a change on the server that should hopefully fix this

looks like we're almost there, the delay is now under an hour

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

just bumped the minimum follower threshold up 150%, we'll see if that helps the autolabeler get caught up

just noticed the @baatl.mastod.one autolabeling service has been down since Tuesday; just restarted it, looking into the root cause now

just realized I forgot to `systemctl enable` the autolabeling service for @baatl.mastod.one, if anyone was wondering what was behind this morning's downtime

those of us subbed to labels, this is what we see when folks don’t add alt-text to their images so maybe start using it yeah?

People who want to make the web accessible need to understand the many different ways that people with disabilities use the web. This W3C resource offers a good introduction to how disabled people navigate the web, and barriers they commonly encounter. www.w3.org/WAI/people-u...

stuff like this is why I removed the term "extended characters" from the definition of Unicode Abuse

still working to reconcile lag with @baatl.mastod.one's automatic labeling against bsky's API throttling; for the time being, if you see a post without alt text that isn't labeled, it's either (a) the user doesn't have enough followers, or (b) I didn't set the minimum follower count high enough

a good rule of thumb for adding alt text to your photos is that if you want to share a photo with everyone, make it accessible for everyone to share

man i really hate it when images have bad alt text. wish someone would do something about that
