AltText

I have mentioned it in song, in fictional stories, and in guides.

It’s not negotiable.

Posting images without AltText will get you blocked.

Not by me - to this day I have yet to block anyone - but there is a significant portion of the Fediverse that will block you forever if you publicly post a single image without AltText.

I don’t necessarily agree that one single transgression should result in excommunication from the Fediverse. I, myself, learned about the existence AltText here on the Fediverse. I’ve since had conversations about the importance of AltText with people that need it. Adding AltText to every single image you post is a learned skill. It’s also an exercise in mindfulness and awareness of accessibility for all.

It’s a defining aspect of the community here, that people feel so strongly about #AltText on the grounds of inclusivity, to the point where not including it is considered a sin against the entire community - and an insult to John Mastodon himself.

So make the effort, because people generally don’t let you know that they’re blocking you. Otherwise, your Fediverse might start to just sort of shrink around you and squeeze all the social out of your network.
