A gentle reminder to folks who are new to Mastodon. In solidarity with those in the disabled community who rely on screen readers, we ask that you:

* Add alt text/image descriptions when you post media
* Capitalize the first letter of every word in a hashtag #LikeThis
* Avoid emojis in your display name

UPDATE: So many great questions! Please check the replies to see if your question has been asked and answered ❤️

Thank you for urging writers to add alt text!

When I was losing my vision, alt text mattered a lot!

Here's "My Vision," my story of regaining my eyesight.

(Social media sites should boost posts with alt text. @disability)

My Vision - SEE International

Preventable blindness affects millions of people globally, and it costs only $25 to save a person from that fate.
