Alt text helps with people with low vision, screenreaders, it provides more context for later searches, it can explain a pic’s background info, and it helps filtering out muted keywords contained in the image.
If you’ve spoken to me, I love your content!

If you’re posting for justice and equality but you can’t be bothered to add ALT text to your images it makes you look a bit like a buffoon

Please, for the love of god, if you’re going to do that “20 days of books that inspired me, just the cover, no explanation”, either write the title in the post or better yet, do f-ing alt text.
Imagine being locked out of the very concept of this type of post. You know blind people read, right?

Please do not put "No" as your alt text unless the image you shared was the text "No." Alt text is not a joke or an Easter egg. If you're denying info to people who need alt text just deny the info from us all.

Repeated skippers of alt text, big accounts list:
- tried to aim for at least 5k followers
- most are political accounts that push “being good people” yet aren’t accessible
- your choice to moderate if they show on your feed, their choice not to use alt text
- can get off this list if they alt text

Twelve (12!!) posts to talk about not writing alt text
Even posting a picture without alt text [yet having the energy to write 12 posts thinking about the topic].
It’s willful anti-disability antagonism at that point.
It’s easy to remind, it uses ONE button, not 12 posts dismissing alt text use.

Use alt text on your photos!
Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.
However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

Bluesky developers, why are the videos still not allowing alt text accessibility
Even if people type alt text, it’s getting eaten and not visible to the viewer unless using a screen reader.

Q: "Why did the Bluesky devs put alt text as an option on videos if it's not the way to do it?"
A: Because the Bluesky devs aren't experienced in accessibility best practices and don't have an accessibility expert on their team, so they think it's fine to ignore established best practice.

It’s super easy to add alt text to your photos
It’s searchable so it makes your photos easier to sort and easier to find
It makes the site better for people who rely on alt text
You can turn on a setting that reminds you to add alt text when you post a pic
It only takes a second
Do it!

I just turned on "require alt text before posting" in my settings and you should probably do so too

because I do sometimes forget it, even though I want to add it, so I might as well make myself
