Thanks for this hint! I'm guilty of forgetting to do this and this will get me in the habit.
You can also change your Bluesky settings so it won't allow you post until you add alt text to your images. It's a great way to remind yourself if you're not already in the habit of doing it automatically.
I won’t scold about adding Alt Text to every picture because I was scolded when I forgot one time & it felt shitty & made me sad. Instead I’ll encourage & remind you to add Alt Text to every pic because it feels great to be inclusive & your posts will get shared more! Brief descriptions are great.
