MiriPiriI’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.
Spokes(wo)man@miripiri absolutely - so conscious of this now that I don't even want to reboost images without Alt Text, no matter how fab the images are. Sometimes I give in, but often I don't.
Nom_de_plume@Spokeswoman @miripiri how do you tell if it’s there or not? I’m a neophyte, and I’ve looked but haven’t found anything. Of course, that might mean there isn’t any text ☹️
@nom_de_plume @Spokeswoman If you tap the photo the text should appear at the bottom.
