My new project, https://AltTextHallOfFame.org, is a celebration of the effort, ingenuity, and creativity that goes into making the web a friendlier and more inclusive place, one captioned image at a time.

Appreciate all the alternative text for images people are adding to their Mastodon posts.

And how folks are creating readable hashtags, by capitalizing the first letter of multi-word hashtags.

Makes it easier to know what's in an image and to read the hashtag.

Appreciate everyone who is adding alternative text to images you share on Mastodon, making your content accessible.

I only boost posts that have image alternative text.

Not sure what alternative text is, or how to add it?

Mastodon #accessibilty tip: Oops, you forgot the alt text for your post's image, or found a typo in it, same then you find out you can't edit alt text!
BUT you can edit the post, so go into edit mode and delete the image. When you re-add the image, you can add alt text!

Do you #tag your #images with #AlternativeText?

Hello, lovely #photographers ! Please let me boost your gorgeous images by putting #AlternativeText on them 🙂

#AlternativeText #ContentWarning
#ToriesOut Just testing this syntax

I can't boost your lovely images if they don't have #AlternativeText on them, or share your political posts (no matter how much I may agree with them) if they're not behind a #ContentWarning. l don't always remember to check my boosts, but am getting into the habit of doing so. X

And on that note, a heartfelt #goodnight to one and all!

Very interesting webinar this Wednesday (12:00 CET) on the 'Fight against impunity in the Central African Republic’. It will discuss, among other things, the first verdict issued by the Special Criminal Court.
