My new project, https://AltTextHallOfFame.org, is a celebration of the effort, ingenuity, and creativity that goes into making the web a friendlier and more inclusive place, one captioned image at a time.

@reflex @weirdwriter you can set image descriptions for some image formats (including JPEG but not PNG in my brief testing) under Windows 10 by right-clicking the image in Windows Explorer, selecting Properties, selecting the Details tab, scrolling to the Description section, and entering the image description in the Title field.

📢 Hey Mastodon friends! Here's a quick reminder about the importance of adding image captions to your posts.

🖼️🔍By providing captions, you're making your content more accessible to those with visual impairments, ensuring they can fully enjoy and engage in the conversation.

🌐 It's a small effort that makes a huge difference for our fellow users, promoting inclusivity and enhancing the Mastodon experience for all. So, let's keep the community welcoming and accessible - don't forget to caption your images! 🤗🎉

#ImageCaptions #Accessibility #Inclusivity

Once again, here's a quick thank you to those who caption their images.

I'm not visually impaired, but i usually am in places with poor internet quality and low available bandwidth as a result.

Image descriptions help me to not "stay in the dark" of the content you post, and i don't have to wait for image to load to appreciate your effort and what it says.

Keep up the good work! I'll promise to do so as well
#ImageCaptions

if you've ever written a post telling people to caption their images with sentiments like "it's so easy", "it takes no effort at all", "there's no excuse not to", and leaving no room for those who have a genuine clashing accessibility need:

you owe me five dollars

and your local disability rights charity another twenty.

multiply by ten for each repeated offense.

you can't decrease ableism in the world by DOING MORE ABLEISM, you absolute fucking soggy lampshades.

I just realized that Mastodon lets anyone read the image captions, so my habit of including little jokes about things (like describing a selfie as ‘stunningly beautiful’ or an unpleasant piece of art as ‘probably best experienced through this description’ ) would read super differently here 😅

I have a #StrangelySerious #KrisThought

I freely admit to being a member of #TheInflux & don't quite grok the entirety here but I've noticed something close to universal and maybe everyone else is just used to it, so accepts it

Long #ImageCaptions are the norm here. It's considered polite and good practice

So why can I only find one #Mastodon #Client that takes that into account? Every other one I have tried gives a pathetic one or two line edit area

It's a nightmare on a phone
