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.
woollypigs@anantagd @coffee4danz I hope my alt texts is good enough and helpful. Sometimes I'm a bit stuck on what to write. It's often down to what do I think is important to tell others about and do I need to go into details and how deep into the details. I hope what I write is helpful
@woollypigs @anantagd just taking the time to describe the image is helpful.
