Alt text for blind and low vision users Alt text for low bandwidth users Alt text for flakey Internet Alt text for digital decay and link rot Alt text for text based browsers Alt text for calling out the relevant details you mistakenly assume are obvious to everyone Alt text for explaining the joke to people that don't have the same background as you Alt text for the 10,000 people learning something "everyone knows" for the first time today Alt text for leveling up your own writing skills Alt text for everyone

Thoughts on Alt Text and trust:
You never know quite what something is like until you experience it, if even a little bit. Today none of the images on Mastodon have loaded for me so I've just been reading the image descriptions. And it's a faint but remarkable feeling to read and not see, and trust that the picture is like someone has written it to be. Just a sort of generic trust in someone else to have your well-being, comfort and ease in mind, in this little act of goodwill and duty.

Or to put it differently: instead of just telling people that they should write alt text, let's focus on why and how.

@alttexthalloffame hey, I don't know if international versions are your thing, but here's a guide I wrote, in portuguese: https://alt.disquete.online
Alt text no Mastodon

Como fazer alt text e descrições de imagem para acessibilidade no Fediverso.

While I appreciate the intentions behind reminding people to add descriptions to their images, let's also focus on helping people actually write alt text.

This can be through continuing to lead by example, sharing tips, and maybe better yet, helping people write it!

Also, I'm curious, why do folks (typically) skip captioning images they upload? #AltText #ImageDescription #AltText #accessibility #a11y #poll #SocialMedia [ ] Not important to describe images [ ] Too difficult to come up with description [ ] Not enough time [ ] Physical challenges [ ] Missing features [ ] Something else? [ ] I caption my images
