This is just a lament that #AltText isn’t used more universally. Some of the accounts I follow on here are rather prolific posters, and much of what they post are unlabeled graphics. For those of us who use screenreaders to access content, #AltText would make life a lot easier, since screenreaders for the most part can’t handle graphics. As a result, all I often get is my speech synthesizer saying the word image. Part of me doesn’t even want to bring this up, because it makes me feel like a schmo to ask people to do an extra step when they’re already trying to put out a lot of content. But, that being said, I’d like to have full access to that content as well, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. #A11Y
