I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

Rummaging around my photo archives I come across this surreal kafkaesque sculpture resembling a bird with outstretched wings a human head and a mask like face on the stomach. Likely to be ceramic. Artist unknown. #Prague 2015.

Could be a nomination for an appropriate Twitter hellsite logo?

Jonesey. Street artist. A sculpture in bronze of a boy with wings looking up into the sky. It's fixed atop a street sign post. Brick Lane. #London.

“I am so happy to have finally got this shot. It has taken me all winter. I have had so many difficulties; frozen equipment, blurry photos through ice, battery issues, flash placements and flare, clouds(!), cats’n’dogs, wind blowing everything over, night exposure, and the list goes on. So you can imagine my excitement and disbelief this morning when I found this on my card! Thank you beautiful Mrs fox, you get an Oscar.”

Gentle reminder: there are many blind and partially sighted users on the fediverse, and alt text is important for accessibility. It's becoming more and more commonplace that people won't boost toots with media that's either undescribed or lacking in a call for help with the alt text.

I have a guide here on how to write alt text, a bot you can follow if you keep forgetting, and options for asking for help with alt text:

Please, alt-text your media.

We have a lot of blind and partially sighted users on the fediverse. Accessibility is important here, and as such, it's good form to include image descriptions (alt text) when we add media to our posts. 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)
