If your alt text just says "text" or something similar or intentionally misrepresents what's in the image to "trick the AI scrapers" you're also being an asshole to those with disabilities who rely on alt text. Don't be an asshole.

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.
