Social media for the blind:
Bluesky, hardly any Alt Text. To understand an image, you must open the post, tap on the image and hope your screen reader can describe it, or spend a minute or so scanning it.
X, hardly any image descriptions. The built-in AI will try to describe the images which is a major improvement, but you need to wait until the screen reader finishes reading all the info about the post.
Mastodon, loads of image descriptions. What a pleasure it is to browse my timeline here.
@RabBrucesSpider1 And even cooler: It's humans writing them just to be nice people.

A ""fun"" experience I have personally, is attaching a GIF with GBoard sometimes, which has automated alt-text by default, which sucks the majority of the time, and has no clue what it's looking it...  (I end up wishing it just didn't the majority of the time, because it's so bad, I typically have to go out of my way to delete it before writing my own by hand anyway...)
