See an image with missing alt text? Maybe the person is dealing with a disability themselves! Be more helpful and suggest a good alt text for them to copy and use!

What convinced you to start adding alt text to images you post online? #AltText #accessibility #ImageDescription [ ] General knowledge about accessibility [ ] Seeing others do it [ ] Seeing others talk about it [ ] Seeing someone get nagged about it [ ] Someone I know explaining this to me [ ] Someone I know nagging me [ ] A stranger explaining this to me [ ] A stranger nagging me [ ] Something else [ ] I don't use alt text [ ] I can't use alt text

No crypto companies pouring in money and hoping for a big payoff some day.

It wasn't *quite* as bright as the phone camera suggests - but it was all visible to the naked eye.

question for people- for the accessible description of an emoji, would you expect it to say the skin tones?
for instance, "women holding hands" vs "women holding hands: light skin tone, medium-light skin tone"
personally the latter feels very verbose, but i'd love to get thoughts!

#BlindAltBot (@anantagd@ieji.de)
@nelson@wetdry.world I am blind. Seeing people who think I'm not worth the effort fill my timeline with AltBot generated AI stuff that isn't even accurate in lots of cases. Human alt text is always better, because it doesn´t focus on ocular seeing. Seeing people think, and AltBot was designed around that notion, that blind people must compensate for missing "eye-seeing", but that's not the case. I am interested in the meaning of an image to you, its maker or publisher. Again, human alt text is better, also because it strengthens reciprocity between seeing and blind people. AltBot doesn't but it makes seeing people believe they have done their bit for accessibility. In actuality, the reverse is often true. !!!!!!!!!
