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!

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.
Sent from a friend - honestly spot on.

We are still underestimating the historical gravity--the dark awesomeness--of the last answer #HopeHicks gave under direct examination.

#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.
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!
