There are many folk on .art, and even more besides, who need alt text to be able to interact with the media in toots.
Alt text can be as simple as 'a pencil sketch of a tree' or 'an abstract painting in red and blue' - you don't need to write essays.
See a guide on alt text here:

I don't boost anything that doesn't have alt text (or a call for help with alt text), and neither do many others. If you want your work shared more, alt-text it. <3
We have a lot of blind and partially sighted users on the fediverse.

When someone uses a screenreader to read the timeline, and the screenreader comes to an image with no alt text, it just says 'image' (as far as I know). That's boring, unhelpful, and provides no clue as to what the image actually *is*. This differs slightly depending on how you're using (cont)
