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.
@yessie @davidbragg There is a setting in most Mastodon clients that will prevent you from posting an image without giving it alt text.
Very useful for the forgetful.
