Friendly reminder that if you post images without alt-text, I won't see them, which means I won't boost them or leave cute replies either 😞

@alice Your PSAs about alt-text β€” and the detailed alt-text you include in your posts β€” have nudged me to do a better job of it myself.

@alice one of the benefits for old folk like me is if you don't get the joke in an image, the alt text often explains it.

@nxskok @alice
Sometimes in my case, the joke is specifically within the alt text. Also an excellent place for scathing commentary.

@TheGreatLlama @nxskok @alice yeah I love to tuck way more unhinged shitposts into the alt text

@alice You haven't boosted anything else I've posted either, so why would I bother(!) #jk #AccessibilityMatters

@eruonna So far it's quite enjoyable! But then again, most of Mastodon is.

@alice Is that a filter ?

I've tried setting up a filter to block images without alt text but never managed it

@alice I like using Tut, which is terminal based mastodon that shows me alt text. I also have automatic image loading turned off in Moshidon. Alt text is nice for me too.
Show threadAndresMar 8
@nieuemma @alice Similarly, on my phone I use Tusky. I have it configured to not automatically load images while on data, because with my phone plan I pay per-MB. So I read the alt text to see if I want to load an image. If there's no alt text, I just skip over the toot.

@Andres4NY @nieuemma @alice hmmm, now I'm wondering if my server is compatible with Tut (it's a Sharkey instance, not a masto one, so sometimes compatibility with Masto stuff is hit or miss)...

@Andres4NY @alice @nieuemma "with vim inspired keys" great, now I'm just gonna post :wq all the time

@Andres4NY @nieuemma @alice imagine a Tusky setting that does not display images without alt-text
