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.
Apicultor 🐝@yessie I just posted a stupid meme, saw your post, and said _fuck_ and went back and deleted and reposted it with alt text.
A pleasant side-effect is that hopefully people will choose the very best memes to shitpost since they should be putting a bit of work into them to add the alt text!
