FWIW, Even though I’m not (yet?) blind or visually impaired, I like to read ALT text.

Sometimes you get awesome prose, sometimes you learn stuff, and sometimes you get extra, bonus information!

ALT text is not a chore.

ALT text is enrichment.

ALT text is an opportunity!

For example, I would have otherwise missed something important in this photo: https://historians.social/@emmanuel/110994996306520188

One of my new favourite Mastodon accounts is @alttexthalloffame & their website: https://alttexthalloffame.org — celebrating works of literary art (or ALT) written to describe images posted here. So good.

Prehistoric bottles: marvellous feeding vessels in the shape of from Vösendorf and Oberleis, Austria, dating 1200-800 BC.
Baby bottles in the shape of animals are common in late Bronze and early Iron Age Europe.

moongold,

@Loukas
Completely agree with the sentiment. Adding -text has become really rare in such a short time. A few months ago most posts I saw had it. Now, most don't. This is a polite request for same - I like it.

What makes a look alternative? Just ask yourself: do you see the day to day average person wearing this? No? Does it catch your eye for being different? Yes? Then it is likely alternative fashion! This category is massive.

Think you don't know what qualifies as alternative fashion? I'm here to tell you that you do! Every time you notice someone's outfit being unique and different, you have identified alternative fashion. As said in the title, this is a massive category with an infinite amount of subcategories....

So the neighbor's daughter said my outfit was “so coastal grandma.”
Apparenly that is not only a thing but also a compliment.
This did not feel complimentary at all.

The first picture I've ever come across on Mastodon that says a lot without saying anything.

Let's have a competition for the best for this.

Can include anything that accurately describes a but needs to provide enough to make a vision impaired person snigger and for extra marks, fart and scratch their crotch (if available).


Elderly female hillbilly invites well known criminal former president of the to visit for 15 minutes. Seems she may be ready to throw together a dinner of roast skunk.
The inviter looks to be about 76 ( but it's more likely 23), and is wearing all white with black sharpie writing on her belly "trump boner garage" with an arrow indicating south of her belly button.

Does someone know why I can’t post to @pixelfed in the @IceCubesApp for ???

It hasn’t been working for at least 1-2 weeks. It used to.

The same app on the same phone works for ALT in this account (mastodon.cloud).

Any ideas?

¿Alguien tendrá idea de por qué no puedo ponerle ALT a las imágenes en desde la app de desde hace una o dos semanas? Antes funcionaba y ahora no. En mastodon sigue jalando sin problema

this is your regular, friendly reminder that lots of us on here who would love to boost your content won’t if you’re not including alternative ( ) text on your images. matters — and more people take it seriously here than in many other places. :)

Let's keep working on this until "alt-right" starts meaning "properly written and inserted description in media posts", come on.

Ludovica_Vain,

@acousticmirror Then the police would define -wrong and eventually a new founded -right would emerge 🧐🎺

On a quick look:

On Twitter 0/10 of the images use Alt text.
On Mastodon 8/10 of the images use Alt text.

Thank you for adding alt texts.
