If you use #AltText, I have one thing to say to you.
Thank you. You may not get commentary on a post every time you write it out acknowledging that you did, but as someone who's #Blind, trust me. We notice.
If you don't write AltText on your photos, we notice that too. Please give it a try. Imagine how you'd feel if you came across picture after picture that looks like a blank screen to you. You'd be frustrated, right?
If you don't know where to start, check out my pinned thread on AltText.

@JesseF8693 Me, too; so much appreciate the alt-text.

@Pipistrelle @JesseF8693 I find cartoons are the most difficult to describe in Alt-Text. Any suggestions on how to do them better?

@CrazyMyra @JesseF8693 Of course, everyone is going to have their preferences, but if there’s a punchline to the cartoon, definitely get the details in that contribute to the idea of the cartoon.

@Pipistrelle @JesseF8693 Right. I messed up one a couple of hours ago on that score

@CrazyMyra @JesseF8693 It takes a little practice. 😉

@CrazyMyra @Pipistrelle You can actually retroactively add #AltText now if you edit a post.

@JesseF8693 @Pipistrelle The Alt-text was there already, but it wasn't very good. I haven't found a way on Tusky to edit the text

@CrazyMyra @JesseF8693 Yeah, if I can’t do it on an app, I go to the web interface. I actually haven’t needed to do that with the app I use for quite some time.

@Pipistrelle @CrazyMyra I'm curious what you're using.
