    Image Transcription: Meme


    [‘Let me in’ - a two panel image of a man in a suit standing outside a closed metal gate, and shaking it vigorously in the second panel with his head tilted back and his mouth open screaming. The second panel also has small amount of motion blur. There is text at the bottom of both images.]

    LEMMY IN.

    LEMMY IIIIIIIN!

      I appreciate the work you’re doing to aid in accessibility. I’m not sure using “unkempt hair” is quite right. I would have thought this is natural afro hair. I don’t think the hair description adds to the transcription so is probably better to remove.

      Thank you for doing this, I have good vision, but at the time I found this post the image was missing, so your transcription was the only way of getting the context of the conversion

      You’re great for transcribing! To avoid the word unkempt, as that can be offensive, I would transcribe the hair as ‘clumpy afro-textured hair’.

        I thought it was messy or blowing in the wind tbh, since he didn’t look like a kind of person who would have textured hair. Looking further into it, I think I was fooled by the scene’s lighting.

    So a few months in I can see now lemmy is a great alternative to reddit, but most people are still on reddit and u/spez was right. The uproar is gone by and everybody just lives with a shitty reddit app now and api is now paid.
