I'm not blind, but I love looking at image alt text. At its best it can describe a photo in wonderful detail and tell you so much more than is obvious in the photo.

Then you get those that have just a single word, "city" or "lake" or some such. WTF! What does that convey?

when i first got on Mastodon this past fall, images without alt text were kinda rare for me to come across but lately i have been seeing more and more. Not yet as bad as twitter, but images without alt text no longer feel like an exception and that's a bummer.

Alt text your photos, your memes, your infographics, your images. Please.

@MelodyWainscott Thank you for the lovely alt text. I so often see photos that I want to boost but I have a policy of not doing so if there is no alt text.

@zadrozny if you've been sending replies as embedded images without Alt.Text for those who rely on screen readers or even just those trying to read it on a 5" screen via lots of zooming and scrolling then I'm not surprised 😉

(Seriously though... Twitter journalism Vs Real journalism)

The weather is haywire atm, though I must admit I'm liking the cooler weather. I never look forward to 0% humidity/45+°C of our scorching summers. (Ex-Qlder) Hoping we'll have a shorter fire danger season this year.
