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.

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!
