as accessibility matters usually are, this is a thing that EXCLUDES disabled people. writing ALT is not a fun extra exercise but a necessary thing that should be automatically added.

it is extremely discouraging to see especially political left wing memes and posts with cool images and well made points, just to see that they don’t have ALT descriptions in place.

you cant keep leaving disabled people outside, accessibility fucking matters.

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?

So many of the great animals every hour accounts don't use alt text for the images they post...wonderful images too. I wish I could boost those images. 🙁
