Ello sweet and lovely (gaming) Friendos 
I've had a good time with @Nio today chatting and trying to get further with the No Man's Sky expedition. I've been able to finish all the phases and am now trying to finish up the mess that is my Corvette, before I'll end the expedition and get back to the main game. Am really excited to try and get more things built then, better things as well... 
I just checked my gaming boosting account, as I suggested the tag to two sweet friends. 😊 One of them had boosted a Toot I made over two years ago... And someone decided to give me a sneer over what I wrote back then...
It was about alt texts. I made the boosting account, not a bot, and I have a few rules or I won't boost. Several of my gaming peeps are visually impaired and they rely on screen readers. I want them to be able to enjoy toots I boost. So yeah, add a decent alt text please.
Since I wrote that Toot (when I had only 500 chars on the account - it got doubled since then), I have written many toots with help for alt texts, including mentioning and explaining altbot many times. And I've mentioned the hashtags like alt4me as well.
But the person only saw that one old Toot and decided to sneer at me that if I was bothered with alt texts, I should write them myself... And that truly got me! 😔
I try to do my best to boost and interact with gamers. I have limited spoons myself. I've suggested all sorts of options for people to get "easy" alt texts. And now it feels like they think I owe them even more. They want the boost, as they use they tag, so they should know the rule about the alt text... But because the use the hashtag they feel like I should write their alt texts as well because that's my rule??
I know I'm NeuroSpicy 🌶️. I know I can be too direct, or too blunt... And I now edited the Toot (as I had more characters now as well) to include the tip of altbot in it. But everyone that would check my old toots can see that I've tried to be helpful as much as I could, within my limiting means... 😔
Ugh, I wish I had not seen that Toot before bed time because it just upset me so much... Is this what they mean with that no good deed will go unpunished? 🤔
Sorry for the long rambling. Social anxiety kicked in making me doubt myself in all the wrong ways...
Is it so weird to think that, if they don't like the rule of adding an alt text, then just don't use the hashtag? 
Anywhoooo... Let's watch some Monster's Inc and hopefully I'll be able to sleep some soon...
I hope... I just feel so sad now...

Yeah, I admit that I use AI help for most of my alt texts as I am just not good with describing what I see... 😔 Never been good at that... But if I take the time to boost people's gaming toots, because they added the hashtag, it doesn't seem unfair to require folks to add some sort of alt text for others who need those on order to enjoy the toots as well...
How can someone demand I do the boosting but also provide all the missing alt texts? And when I tell them I use AI to help me, they block me for ableism... 🤔
I just wish people could just go "ah I won't use the tag as I don't want to follow the alt text request", instead of hashing out that they demand the boost and me supplying alt texts as well...
Ugh, I still can't wrap my head around it... It really upset me so much...
So thank you for your kindness 💜

in reply to Ally • • •Well they didn't say it like that. But that's how it felt... Because I dared to demand Alt texts from people, nor caring about their ability to write them...
I told them I can't do it either, bit that altbot makes very decent ones that can help the visually impaired to enjoy the toots better. And that there is the alt4me hashtag.
I got told off for using AI and the tag sucked because it didn't work. But they had enough of me and my demands and I earned myself a block... So within seconds, I pressed that button as well, as my social anxiety was almost making my heart burst from my chest due to stress... 😔
