Moms vs. culture wars: How suburban women flipped school boards

How suburban women flipped school boards, and what it means for midterms
In conservative and swing states, teachers, moms and women candidates are taking back local education — and sending a warning to Washington ahead of the midterms.Nadra Nittle (19th News)
After a couple of years on the #Fediverse, I still find parts of it I hadn’t seen before. It’s so much fun to discover, figure out, and explore all the niche communities and small features out there ❤️
Today it was the "Group" user tag that made me wonder what it's all about. Apparently a #Group is used to mark #Lemmy communities.
Although it does not always seem to be applied:
mastodon.social/@worldnews@lem… (Group)
VS
mastodon.social/@world@lemmy.w… (No Group)
Is there any reason why the official Mastodon app (I use Android) is NOT showing a warning, if you try to post a picture without ALT-TEXT?
@apps does a great UX job here and reminds me, every time I forget to add an alt text.
If needed, I can add a feature request / bug ticket.
Thx for your reply.
On should be the standard, or?
People who are new to the Fediverse and have zero ideas what an alt-text is, will not turn it on.
We see, especially after di.day, a rise of users who have zero ideas about it.
They want an easy user experience.
We have some "hard cases" and they are so much struggling with doing it right.

FOSS projects unwilling to pay money for UI design, or documentation, or user research, or accessibility experts
users unwilling to pay money for FOSS because it’s actually bad software and hard to use and asks people to
GO ONTO DISCORD
for the documentation
What we have is not a problem with dicord making a bad decision; it’s an entire system and culture that has led us inevitably here; the time to have done something about it was in 2020 when we were all in lockdown getting excited about group chat software and suddenly had a bunch of free time
I do think foss projects should Pay designers; rather than expecting designers to to volunteer their time
because I have seen the volunteer story play out: If the work was offerred FOR FREE then it has no percieved value, and the volunteer engineers feel no strong obligation to use the work
therefore pay your designers
