(Sorry for lack of alt text... honestly not sure how to describe what you're (not) looking at. #altTextHelp #altTextForYou?)
@hosford42 Fully sighted here but if they simply said "an image of x - please help with alt text" then I and others would help when we can. Maybe also have #AltTextHelp in the body of the toot.

Takiro 🎨Hey folks. For alt text I need to make clear the difference between a compass (the thing that draws/measures circles) and a compass (that magnetic thing that shows the direction you're facing). How do you do that? I need to make sure it's clear I mean the first thing (the drawing thing). It's about an icon in the image.
Fea Crow Seriously, how do you alt-text original characters in comic style?
Nothing I could write would make a person who needs the text know what the character looks like, they would never be able to actually "see" the art like it is in their mind and then it kind of misses the point, doesn't it?
It's so frustrating and the reason why I hardly post ocs anymore, because no alt-text is kind of bad….
Any tips on that topic would be appreciated

Gwen moved to transfem socialPeople who need alt text, I haz a question!
If I have a well known meme, like expanding brain or clown applying make up, is it better to just give the name of the meme, or is it better to describe the meme? I can see a case for both, and since I don't use it, I can't tell which makes more sense.

skuaIf we knew each other much better I'd joke and say, "Learn how to code and write a better app if you're not happy."
(Which would be poking fun at folk who do occasionally make such aggressive and unhelpful replies.)
Are you using an app or accessing Mastodon on a web browser?
If an app I suggest contacting the developer and asking them.
If the web page then try contacting your instance administrator.
Lanie CarmeloSighted friends: I'm working on my new website, and I'm using the attached picture as the featured image on my homepage. It's of me holding my 10-year-old male Miniature Pinscher, Squeaker. Can someone suggest some good alt text for it? I'd ask my mom, who's the one who took it, but she's not great at this kind of thing, and I don't know where she is. I tried asking #JAWS PictureSmart, but it kept pointing out unimportant things in the room and didn't say much about Squeaker.

It's not the usual bathroom graffiti. You may have to zoom in to see it. I'm not sure how to describe this one, but I like it.
Sicut DicoIf I have to #introduce myself on a dating app, I say I’m an adult content creator or a professional villain.
When I want to appear “normal”, I introduce myself as an #art manager, or an event producer, or simply as an artist.
Very often, I say that I’m a former #marketing strategist and project manager who now only accepts to sell art or #sex.
For those who want to fuck my artists without my permission, I’m a #pimp. A hardcore pimp, with lawyers and thugs on my side.
For kind weirdos, #queers and all kinds of perverts I preach self love and #acceptance. Hope for a change. Confidence. Power to be whoever the fuck you want.
Sometimes I simply #perform and entertain. Sometimes I also just survive and #fight.
Honestly? I have so many roles and characters that I can lose myself. Then I hire professionals.
