I've found I really enjoy writing #AltText (it's actually therapeutic to me), so if anyone wants me to write some alt text for them, feel free to tag me!

Device hoarding?!

Reposted the image with a description (the text was too long for my server's character limits but fits as alt text)

PS. Looks like this story is from 2025

#AltText4you #AltText

HUH. That’s an interesting touch about the #ZatsuTabi OP (this toot is effectively the #altText for the image): when it introduces each character it displays their name in both Japanese and English…and the english text is presented as persional name then family name. So in this example of a young brunette with long twintails and glasses we see “Yui Unoki” on the still frame.

But it’s fairly clear that the Japanese text underneath that is in the traditional order …

@VeroniqueB99 😆 😂 Yes!

@🔥Cassandra🔥 When I describe a meme-based image macro, it's rather concise. But I've got very good reasons to describe my original images at greater detail in alt-text and then once more at vastly greater detail in the post itself. It depends on what people may not know about the image but want to know.

I hope to limit my future alt-texts to a maximum of 512 characters, though. That's Misskey's limit, but Misskey currently has a bug which makes it delete longer alt-texts instead of truncating them.

That said, AI also hallucinates and guesses too much without actually knowing. This occurs the more, the more obscure the topic of an image is and the less the AI knows about it.

So if you want your image description to be accurate, you'll have to write it entirely yourself.
