BlueSky would be more accessible if they allowed community captions on images
Reading this footnote made me decide to read the entire book. That’s just fantastic. On a side note- if you would like help forming the habit of adding alt text to images for your low vision followers, there’s a setting for that in Bluesky (Accessibility/require alt text before posting).
