A picture is *worth* a thousand words.
You've probably heard that all your life.
It is indeed worth a thousand words in some cases... Which is why #AltText is so important.

It's worth having a thousand words written about it. Isn't it wonderful?
The saying has never been quite so poignant as it is now. Think about it.

@FreakyFwoof I uploaded a video of me and my dog today. None of the apps did a description worth sharing, and I had no one sighted here to describe it. Usually Piccibot does great descriptions, but it let me down today.

@FreakyFwoof would you answer "as long as necessary" then on this poll, or what's your tradeoff between keeping up with a feed vs. diving deep on one particular image? https://masto.thefword.club/@AltAfterDark/114694687313954032

Hey unsighted fedi-folx! When it comes to good alt-text... Please select all that apply. #Poll #Accessibility #AltText [ ] just describe the image accurately [ ] I want to experience that image [ ] keep it short [ ] make it as long as necessary
