I’m actually head of accessibility and I work in product development. My work is focused on feature reviews, audits, and user testing. Though my PhD is in a field within computer science so I can go through a code base when needed 😉

Honestly have laughed at your posts since the before times (pre-pandemic, maybe even pre-glitch). Massive respect for the post, the real question is can you even get any hotter and smarter? And is that fair on the rest of us if you do?
Open invite to join me for coffee in Berlin anytime 🤘✨

Sure for a “longer image description” you can do this, the issue is that in this case and in many other cases the additional information isn’t a description of the image. Long descriptions for alt text are to allow for more complex or content rich image descriptions.

It’s a form of misuse of alt text that should be avoided at all costs. Whilst this example is pretty innocent and could be considered a nice “Easter egg” of content it would be better placed in the original post text to not misuse the alt text field.

It also happens a lot and wastes a lot of time for folks using screen readers. The worst culprits are when brands add SEO terms into alt text on decorative images. It’s disrespectful at the very least but hugely inaccessible in some scenarios where it can cause confusion and disorientation.

If you use a screen reader you might not want to skip alt text even when you think it is no longer contextually important just in case there is something there. Adding anything into alt text beyond a contextually correct and factual description reduces accessibility.

Hey @spacefag.bsky.social beautiful words indeed but next time you should post anything that isn’t descriptive text about the image outside the alt text to keep it accessible 💖

If you do mess around with Note let me know. I’ve worked with some folks getting it levelled up to work with Voiceover and it’s been lots of fun messing around on it!
