I don't ever want to get locked out during #ArtAdventCalendar again. A full 90min catching up on reposts. Almost all of you are using Alt Text (the rest of you need to step up) A few of you don't have non Default profile images or bios. Fix that. Most people will think your a bot or spammer. - ThreadSky

Locked out of Bluesky? Your computer? or your HOUSE (brrrr)??

My post scheduler borked last night & I didn't have any code to stop it from trying over & over so I hit the rate limit and wasn't able to get back on until about 9pm.

Non-default profile images? Wait, what are those? I only ever uploaded the one profile pic when registering…

Is there a setting I missed?

Crap! I forgot my alt text today 😕 thank you for the reminder

jayispainting.earthskyart.ca•89 days ago

There is a setting in accessibility to require alt text.. very useful

Thanks for the tip! This platform is the best…

Did I miss the prompt for it, or are we not able to add alt text to videos? Ultimately, I just went back and added it as a comment. I don’t wanna let you down! This event is great!

I’m new to Bluesky and just blown away by the support artists are showing other artists. A bit of my faith in humanity restored. Thank you for #ArtAdventCalendar, it’s such a beautiful way to experience all of these wonderful artists.

It's a community building project.. and it works.

D'oh! I keep forgetting to do the alt text 🤦🏻‍♀️

Go to Settings->Accessibility and you’ll see an option to turn on Alt text reminders.

This option literally disables your post button until you’ve added alt text to all images so you won’t have to remember on your own (it’s a godsend)

But end of day 3 we've got 872 #ArtAdventCalendar participants!!!

Blows the precious record of 771 out of the water.

Fabulous day. Let's doing it again tomorrow (or continue on if it's your morning already)
