I’m bringing ALT text up again.

Please use it.

In the past few days, I have seen a slew of posts w/ images for events, projects, fics, etc that have different types of font/colors that don’t read well esp on mobile.

Read the post linked 🙏🏼

They are popping up. Eventual consistency sometimes takes a little while for them to appear in your own time frame but they do get there.

Adding “alt tags” to the image helps to describe them, @debbieohi.com has a nice write up:

These reasons are IN ADDITION TO the basic inclusivity rationale: blind and visually-impaired people can participate fully on Bluesky.

Thank you for this.

If you post pictures of text it's good to use alt text so they are accessible to.people using screen readers. (Alt text is also good for describing images that don't have text.)

Forwarding a terrific example of somebody discovering AltText💞

#AltText is like... a #SecretClub for the "IN" crowd ... just below the surface... AND a terrific way to expand on a topic without cluttering up the visual flow of the images.

Best part?
All are welcome!! 🙏

I got into doing alt text reluctantly, because I didn't believe there were really THAT many people who needed it, I was tired, in a hurry, etc., and also just, I hate being constantly harangued to do a thing, even if it's the right thing. It's the toddler in me.

But friends... it is so much fun.
