I’m moving away from reposting anything without alt text, as many others are. It’s a matter of courtesy and it only takes 15 seconds. You don’t have to go crazy with it.

Please consider making your image posts accessible and searchable with alt text.

90% of image posts are missing it, still
If someone can't post all their image posts with alt-text, they need to post less so they can include it, or not at all
Looking forward to https://bsky.app providing an option to mute all posts missing alt-text sometime soon
But if alt-text is missing and there's no text in the post identifying the image either, mute words don't work as the function has nothing to filter on
For many of us, less adept writers than you, perhaps a little more than 15 seconds would be courteous
#AltText
If you name the politicians & evil billionaires, we don’t have to see them and have added stress.
(I promise I get enough info abt them & don’t need jump scares.)
You can also click on and copy/paste text from inside the image. (There’s sometimes a little button in the lower right corner that let’s you “copy all”)
So sorry to be dense
I have clicked on I see
I did it. Every photo is now alt-text.
Dumb question: Do you happen to know if it is possible to add alt text to an existing post (other than deleting the post & starting over)?
Not sure but don’t think so because we don’t have an edit function iirc.
Just do it!
I think it’s something still in development with @bsky.app.
I'm still not great at it but no harm trying!
