As a non blind person I really appreciate these alt texts/image descriptions.

Thanks, I always try to include them, but I’m never sure whether to keep it as alt text or put it as a caption, or how well alt text works on Lemmy.

Out of curiosity, why do you find them helpful if it’s not for vision reasons? I apologise if that’s too personal a question.

Because the joke and the context and who it is is not equally obvious for all people.

I wouldn’t have recognised the guy, nor the context, nor did I know about the heisy or the damaged jewels. This is just a lot of interesting context without which the joke wouldn’t have made any sense.

In such cases, explaining the joke actually makes it funnier. Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll be sure to add more context if I post one of these again.

For this one, I guess I should have added that Pizza Express was his alibi for how he could not have met the person who accused him of rape. It was a disastrous interview in 2019 that I expect has come back to haunt him. archive.md/mPBis

As others already pointed out: the additional context information. So while I probably got the initial idea of the photo, adding the information that this crown was from the louvre heist, added a new layer of information. Now I could also laugh about the probably unintended joke that he tried to steal his royality back. It just makes the photo so much more interesting.

I was going for the idea of fallen royalty and involvement in crime, but I think we can’t rule out the possibility he was also trying to steal his title back so I quite like your read too.

Thanks for your help!
