coffee4danzMastodon has introduced me to the joy of reading descriptive #alttext. I take in the image then read the text as icing on the cake. It can really add extra personality to images.
#BlindAltBotI'm blind and for me alt text is the Big Special Thing about Mastodon. If someone posts a meme, I'm in on the joke. Someone shares beautifiul moss, or their cat, I'm in on the beauty or fun or whatever. I'm now 62, and this is the first time I entered a community and a culture where people grant me this kind of access and community. So grateful for people who do alt text.
Code of Amor 💘@anantagd @rysiek @coffee4danz Alt text is awesome. It's a little extra work for me at times, and sometimes I'm not sure how I want to express an image or what to include or exclude in my description, but I think I do pretty well with it.
