It’s great that more people are moving to Mastodon, but that influx has already resulted in far more posts with pictures that have no Alt Text description.
If you’ve just moved here, please bear in mind that there are a lot of visually impaired screen reader users here, and because Mastodon is far more inclusive than Twitter, it is considered polite to describe what your pictures show. Thank you, and welcome to a nicer social media platform. Please help keep it that way.
@BlindGordon you inspired me to go add alt text to some recently posted pictures. Editing image failed in Android mastodon app multiple times on two posts. Guess ill try again next time...
@nz0p
Thanks for giving it a try. Just checked and you can do it on Tusky app for Android. Edit toot, then click the little A in the bottom right of the image and can add alt text. I view it as a kind of writing exercise and chance to add some creativity to "just a pic" posts. Have fun.
