I had given up on pleading for more alt-text but I'll try again!

Please add alt-text to your photos/pictures it only takes a minute and does not have to be fancy. My policy is not to boost images without alt-text and I am not the only one.

This is one of the cultural things I like about Mastodon, the inclusiveness. Please don't ruin it.

(Edit) was sent a guide for alt-text

Well, happy #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay!

While my original proposal to hide images in order to highlight the importance of well-written alt text did not gain a whole lot of traction, I'm still glad there was some conversation, and grateful to everyone who is still interested in joining in.

If you do participate, I would love to hear from you!

I’m seeing this graphic making the rounds without attribution - many versions have the info at the bottom cut off. The creator is alienyrox2 on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/user/alienyrox2/).

EDIT: changed and alt text included within five minutes. Excellent: thank you.

Is it not a big thing in the EU that we should include all our citizens?

This post excludes the blind and partially sighted by not having Alt Text on the images.

You want to make Europe stronger? Live up to the principles and ideals of inclusion, even for the blind and partially sighted.

Use Alt Text.

#AltText: 2 by 2 grid of Tweets, all showing the picture of attractive woman with very slight variations of the text “My name is Tina Davis, I'm 35 years old, I live in Illinois, and I will not be voting for Joe Biden in November.”

We are still underestimating the historical gravity--the dark awesomeness--of the last answer #HopeHicks gave under direct examination.
She revealed, in essence, that #Trump admitted to her that he would have lost in 2016 had he not committed 34 felonies.

Sit a moment with that."

#AltText image descriptions

I see your point, Stefan, and with photos, it's usually not that difficult. But how about cartoons, or worse, PowerPoint slides, e.g., about climate change? If you really want to be inclusive, you need to rather fully describe them, which often takes 5-20 min. each.


Likewise, I don't think about describing or transcribing everything that's in a picture, rather, explaining the point of the picture, and why I'm sharing it.

"What if our goal is to communicate, in alt text, the visual experience of an image, and help blind users know what it is like to see an image?" https://aestheticsforbirds.com/2024/05/02/how-to-write-alt-text/ #altText

This meme would be even better with *#AltText*!

"The situation in #Israel is
being used as a wedge
to divide the Democrats!
Don't fall for it!
No matter what "side" you
are on, you do NOT want
another 4 years of #Trump!
The only way to prevent
that is to vote #Biden!

Please pass this on!"

Went out to feed the birds this a.m. & saw something "mounted" to a back porch support beam. Closer inspection revealed it was a very large #moth. My ID app suggests Polyphemus moth (Antheraea polyphemus) with an average wingspan of 6". It was just chilling during the a.m. storms. I hoped it would open up but it just stayed motionless. It was quite dark so the pics aren't the best. Antennae are very cool!
