Occasionally the OP will edit it into the original post (although I saw somewhere such edits might not federate? IDK). There are also reminder bots and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AltTextForYou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltTextForYou</span></a> hash tag, but indeed, all of these are stopgap measures and the exclusionary spirit of the missing alt text remains.</p><p>A real community alt-text tool would be great.</p>

At first it's in the middle of the peloton, then as they cross a bridge it's ahead of the group. It seems to be having the time of its life, and it's a polite racer!<br><br></span><a href="https://fedi.ikeran.org/tags/AltTextForYou" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AltTextForYou</a><span><br><br>RE: </span><a href="https://pixelfed.social/p/marcioaleks/838888414609871619" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://pixelfed.social/p/marcioaleks/838888414609871619</a></p>

It shows signs of solid routine care but was last renovated probably in the 1960s. The paint is bone white. In the left foreground there is a utilitarian white sink. The toilet is facing it from the back left corner; it's clean but scuffed, and it has support bars for people with mobility issues. In a cubby to the left of the toilet are three aging display cases, glass-fronted with wood trim, containing clocks; there is a little museum label at the far end with a title "Clock 36".<br><br>Over the toilet at roughly head height there is a sort of solid hood with an old rotary telephone in the middle. On top of that are a few electrical panels and several knobs labeled "Fuse" (green knob), "1 SEC" (red knob) "6 SEC" (yellow knob), and "?? SEC" (knob not visible). A couple pieces of raw wood back the panels.<br><br>To the right of that is a gauge of some sort fastened to the wall with a wood case and a glass front. It has pair of switches, "Retard / Advance" on the left and "Pulse Start" on the right. There's a similar gauge below, but with no controls. Both of them have a dial, a wire coil, and a thin metal armature, implying they're electric but possibly analog.<br><br>Beneath that, at eye height, is a third gauge like an old time sound meter. On its wood face are several buttons or switches in red, off-white, green, blue, yellow, and black. On the right side is a small crank; on the left is a sort of telephone handset with a rubber cup on one end.<br><br>Below that is yet another rotary telephone, a dusty, tiny light bulb behind a circular grill, and a paper with the title "Reports of Major Service Failures and Hazards." Beneath that in the same shelving unit is a shelf with a more modern style of gauge with no obvious purpose.<br><br></span><a href="https://fedi.ikeran.org/tags/AltTextForYou" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AltTextForYou</a></p>
