Yes, this! Your user wants to know WHY you're including the image, not just description. Intent really matters: you could describe the same picture different ways, depending on your reason for putting it on the web.
@catsofyore.bsky.social, I appreciate your image descriptions! I always read them.

2/ an equivalent experience in my mind's eye, however, where is it supposed to come from?
As the person who chose the image, you're in the best position to express in words those things about the picture which do not need to be expressed in words if you can visually process it. You must

As a direct consumer of ALT I would always rather have too much detail provided to me, because I can always squelch speech, lift my finger off of my refreshable braille display, or simply move onto the next item, if I do not need it.

Well now I’m worried that I’m doing it wrong. The feedback I’ve gotten from people with visual impairments is that they DO want to know the vibe. Like here’s a thread from @oedipusnj.bsky.social about it. https://bsky.app/profile/oedipusnj.bsky.social/post/3jywm7v5vtl2y
A SIMPLE GUIDE TO PROVIDING USEFUL ALT ON BLUESKY
1/ ALT's sole function on Bluesky is to provide an autonomous & as fully equivalent an experience of an image as possible for the blind/VI & neurodivergent
If you can see it & read it, I should be able to feel or hear it without leaving Bluesky

because most people who are visually impaired dont want to know the "vibe" of a pic, they just want to be able to participate in discussions/platforms that involve images.
