I’m feeling concerned that many of us have recently joined #Mastodon and that the long term visually impaired community are now inundated with beautiful photos with no #alttext to describe the photo. Only about 1 in 5 Toots describe photos on my timeline. We all need to curb our enthusiasm to share undescribed photos and embrace our descriptive writing. I’m not on my high horse just concerned that we’ve arrived en masse and need to do our very best to embrace #MastodonCulture.
@miripiri I vow to always use alt text, as best I can.
@miripiri I reached for my tablet on the bed upon awakening, intending to start another episode of "The Expanse," and I must have turned on descriptive text for visual impairments. It's an interesting thing to listen to. #TheExpanse
