Mhmm, "add a text description"... 😉

@baadman
@feditips It sounds kind of like the song Optimistic Nihilism.

@feditips "for deaf people"

Also for people who don't want to blast a random audio message on the train

@feditips So I could make a podcast via Mastodon! Maybe it wouldn't have the RSS side of it, but... maybe it would... ? Interesting!

@feditips
I'm not sure where to find that text description? Does it only show up in specialized tools?

@feditips Would be nice if we could upload .webm video files.

@feditips this sounds like fun and easier than typing long thoughts 🤓

@feditips it'll also make a spectrum visualiser

Thanks for the tip about the custom image. I posted an mp3 of a sad trombone and was surprised to see my profile pic featured. Actually, I wasn't that surprised. It was fitting.
