I just want to say for my first post to the #Fediverse that I've already seen more #alttext in the last couple of days than I've literally seen in my entire life. I don't know what it is, but as a blind user it's making me emotional to be able to actually interact with content. Think I'll write an introduction soon.

@ontheotherside This alt text has costed us a lot of sweat and tears. "please use alt text, disabled users need it", over and over, again and again, every single time a wave of newcomers arrives.

It's so reassuring to know all this has not been in vain.

@yuki2501 Mastadon has been an internet space where people seem to listen sometimes! Thanks for your advocacy! I’ve improved my practice of alt text through the posts I’ve seen!
