Here’s a good guide for writing alternative text for images so people who use screen readers can also take part:
#a11y #accessibility #inclusivity #web #fediverse #mastodon #twitterMigration #altText #altTextMovement
@Volpit I already have a personal policy of not boosting a post without alt text without doing this but nice to have a movement around it :)
Please also provide a standard snippet of text with instructions on how to edit the post and add the text to the image as not everyone might be aware. A link to a resource with more info would also help: https://www.sc.edu/about/offices_and_divisions/digital-accessibility/guides_tutorials/alternative_text/step-by-step-instructions-alt-text/alt-text-examples/index.php
And remember some folks may have legitimate reasons for not being able to write alt text.
I want to create the #AltTextMovement
Whoever wants to join me, we'll do one simple thing: post the alternative text under every post we see that doesn't have it. So that we show the person who posted it how to do it and how simple it is
