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

Just think about how radical the fediverse is: a place for real human connections and communities where no single individual or business is in charge.

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

We make the fediverse […]

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

If you’re on your phone: just tap the little mic on the keyboard, and describe what’s on the picture, and maybe what the picture’s message is.

Boom, your #alttext quality will be in the top 20% here.

I truly love writing alt text, maybe particularly when it forces me to confront how little I know about the world around me. Like, ok this is a picture of a rock. It is…brown? There are things growing on it. They are…plants? lol I’m really sorry for the people reading them but listen, yall will […]

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!

Happy New Year from the US East Coast! 🥳

2025 was a hell of a year, but power to us all for getting through it. And may we cherish the memories of those who we've lost.

I know things are, in many ways, looking bleak right now. But seeing the resilience and relentless hope of so many of you […]

I was really fascinated when I first learned about the blind gaming community. Great to see whenever this topic gets more coverage, and the growing inclusivity within the industry.

"With an estimated 250 million gamers worldwide identifying as visually impaired, accessibility is both a major […]

It's my birthday today! Hard to feel very celebratory with everything that's going on in the world, but it would make my day knowing that people are still finding the strength to be kind to others, as well as to themselves.

And hey, if you have some spare cash, here are some of the causes and […]

Happy 25th anniversary to this Daily Mail article from the year 2000, proclaiming that internet "may be just a passing fad as millions give up on it".

Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities!

This year's theme: "Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress."

Because we can't move our society forward without everyone being included.

@egoldblatt There was a project that set out to do something like this, I think, but sadly it no longer appears to be actively maintained.

There's also an open issue for Mastodon to support alt text saved in image EXIF data, that would certainly […]
