Super interesting perspective. I've only encountered the full visual desc at the beginning of a zui in big corporate gigs. And I've always wondered.

We’re doing visual descriptions wrong

Do blind people actually want visual descriptions or are we just wasting 15 minutes of everyone’s time before a Zoom meeting starts?

The D*List

One of the things I ♥️ about Mastodon is how good people generally are about adding #AltText to images

Often the text is as good as, or better, than the actual image

Hey Masto mates I’m noticing a lot of pictures posted without visual descriptions. I’m far less inclined to boost if they’ve not got them. Please, please caption your pictures. It’s easy and common courtesy. Mastodon has it so neatly built in.
