Yessie 🌓I just scrolled through the local timeline, and I only saw one post with image descriptions. I also saw several people have names written in fancy fonts that screen readers cannot read. There was a lot of this on Twitter, and I really hope this isn't a trend that is gaining more traction here as well. There are a lot of blind people on Mastodon, and we can't make sense of fancy fonts or know what's in your photos without image descriptions.
Kevan@yessie Might be your instance.
@kev I've been on Mastodon for 4 years. I've noticed a decline in the amount of alt text being posted to timelines on both my accounts. There may be other instances that are better, but I don't want to be on a blindness or disability centered instance. It has less to do with the instance I'm on and more to do with all the new users.
@yessie I guess best thing to do is educate as much as you can. People are bound to eventually figure it out.
