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 Getting used to using #alttext is a drag, being reminded is a combination of annoying and feeling bad for being inconsiderate.
But then, when you’re (finally) used to it, you realise, it’s as if you have a whole extra canvas to paint on (rereading this, notice that it might not be the best of metaphors, ups)

Looking forwards to hearing from somebody who actually uses and needs this:
- what about emoji?
- and commas,
- and parentheses,
- and em-dashes?
