It’s called “alt text” because slowing down to write it alters your perception of your photos, how they are seen, and your relationship to broader Fediverse. Start writing alt text and your very reality will be altered.

Welcome… to Fedi Vale.
@maxleibman The number of people who don't add Alt-text is really sad. Or, worse, the people who add one word so their picture doesn't get filtered. They are beyond annoying

Seconded. I hate the lazy twunts who just say the animal or repeat the title of the artwork without describing it. Don't care if it's a not, it's still operated by a human.
