Many people may not realize that Bluesky supports alt text, since other social media platforms do not. Others may not be aware that alt text is descriptive text that is attached to a picture like a caption. so screen readers have something to read.
I find great joy in making my alt text pristine and so fresh and descriptive, so high quality. I want people who need alt text to chef's kiss at my alt text.
What some people don't realise (people who screenshot Facebook posts) is that it's not even necessarily an art form, just copying and pasting the goddam text of the original post
Seriously. Most of the time it's very simple stuff. Just copying text and making sure the important details are covered to get the point of the pic/video across in only words.
Also ngl before I followed you as with literally everyone I checked to make sure you use alt text because it's important! And for the record your alt text is v good
I get frustrated and pissed off when there's no alt text AND I DON'T EVEN NEED IT TO FUNCTION and some people do, so they get despair and solitude and disregard thrown into that mix and it sucks so bad
Also, I don't *need* it to function… but it's super helpful when I'm using my phone at very low light, when it's a comic with a lot of panels and I'm on my phone so the text is tiny, and also it can provide context if like I don't know what movie an image is from.
Also selfishly I will think of good riffs and sometimes even make a meme and then I go to post it and I goddamn can't because there's no alt text so now I can't interact with that shit, you just wasted everybody's time mate please get locked in a walk in freezer
