Your concern is that folks with screen readers won't be able to get the information, and the EASIEST way to make sure they get the information is to fix the problem.

Change the toilet paper. For the love of whoever you find holy.

The best way to not leave folks with disabilities behind is to DO the thing that needs to be done to help them.

Trust me on this one.

Screw the image owner. This is the internet

Case in point. I drew a dick on your pfp for kicks

Thanks. I've boosted a few posts and forgot to look for alt text. Will do this in future.

Is Alt Text Canva?

phil-brighton.bsky.social•26 days ago

Nope.

When you post any image, you can add alt text. You just need to write a couple of sentences about the key things in the image. If the images is of text, you should write what it says.

If you go to settings and accessibility, you can set it so you will always be reminded 🙂
