    I am amazed that this transcribing thing went from Reddit to the Fediverse. Good work 👍

    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?

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

    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.
