It's N-eye-uh. 🧚♀️With everything going on, thank you to those who are using alt text.
Vision impaired/blind people want to support everyone and stay vigilant. Using alt text (or adding it for those who can't) makes sure we can do that.
#Accessibility #UseAltText
troy_friz_zellIt's interesting how so many small accounts are so diligent about #AltText and how some large accounts seem to care so little. If you have a large following, be a good example. It's not hard. There is OCR available if you're posting screenshots.
Let's all be better.
K-ZO da SnowmanQuick search didn't bring up anything; is there a way to save images with the alt text saved as meta data, so you don't have to repeat alt text when posting again?
I'd like to encourage everyone to use the alt-text when you post images. Because it's the right thing to do.
I also encourage everyone to read the alt-text. You may be surprised to find out how much more context you get. Some users really go hard.
I really hope this doesn't read like scolding. It's meant to be encouraging. And I promise not to get started on camel case for tags.
Sorry, that was cheating a bit.
Misinformation-SuperhighwaymanPSA: if you think it's funny to joke dismissively about people asking you to use Alt-text, wake up to yourself. You're normalising bad netiquette and making people with disabilities the butt of your joke, so you just earned yourself a block.
Stan Stewart (muz4now)Just a quick reminder: if your skeets are filled with photos, but none of them have alt-text, it’s extremely unlikely that I will follow/followback.

That thing where someone rips-off art from a viral post, doesn't credit the artist, and can't even bother to copy-and-paste the Alt-text the creator wrote in their original post.
secretslothThis feels like a perfect illustration of why I don't boost posts without alt text. I don't bother saying anything, I assume if they've been here awhile, they have heard it and seen it - they just won't get boosts from me. I'm happy to help add alt text for you if you can't do it (sometimes I have those days, too. But if this reaches folks who are choosing not to add it because they don't care, please reconsider. This is what your posts looks like to a lot of folks. #UseAltText
Emily HareHey folks, just use alt text on your pics. Especially artists, it helps those who need it to enjoy your content. I won't share art that hasn't got alt text. Just do it!
