@bodhipaksa As alt text is not always fully accessible to people who do not use screen readers please put descriptions for sighted users in the body of the message, not in the alt text. This applies to the artist, location and the commentary in the last sentence.

- Mobile web users often do not know how to display it. (Tap, then long-press.)
- For gifs/videos it’s not possible. (Not applicable here.)
- Long text is cut off. (N/a here.)
- Font size may be too small, cannot be enlarged.

@GreenSkyOverMe "Mobile web users often do not know how to display it."

I'm happy to accommodate people with disabilities, but ignorance does not qualify as a disability.

@bodhipaksa @GreenSkyOverMe Putting the whole text in the alt might feel like it is even more inclusive.
But the alt text is really only meant to describe the picture. For someone who doesn't use a screen reader but relies on magnification, this makes it very inacessible. Also people with screen reader might opt to only read the posts, thus missing the whole context.

If we use acessibility features, we *have* to use them as intended. Only then can the reciever make the most use of it.
