#AltText #accessibility

@alttexthalloffame yes, but it always means extra effort. I hope it is worth it. I have no idea if my ALT text is being used by anybody
@askans @alttexthalloffame i read the text any time i come across a photo. i find them very helpful. and many people won't boost a post if there is no text

@forestine @alttexthalloffame

That is good to know. I never read them, but I try to make an effort to write them

@askans @forestine @alttexthalloffame some of alt texts are very useful, some of them have info + good joke in it 👍
@askans @forestine @alttexthalloffame then, for an example: pic of some foreign car and alt text filled with car brand, model and year.
Useful! 👍

@askans I am allo-abled (no difficulties with visual or aural processing) and I still look for and read alt text every time, if nothing else because I like learning how others are writing alt text so I can inform and improve my own descriptive captions.

@forestine @alttexthalloffame

@caroline @forestine @alttexthalloffame that is a fair point! I should be a bit less lazy
