I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.
@guilevi to be honest, the text "describe the photo for the visually impaired" that appears on the official mastodon client for iOS client makes it easier to remember than the more subtle "+alt" of the official Twitter client
@guilevi hey thanks so much for sharing this, it's really encouraging to hear! ❤️
@guilevi my eyesight is fine, but i want to personally thank everyone who adds alt text to jokes i would otherwise not get lol 💀
