 Accessibility is important, and often taken for granted by those who don't depend on it. That's why we added the option to require every photo you post to contain an alt-text description before it can be posted! We're working to enforce this on 3rd party/mobile apps too. 4 comments
@pixelfed maybe offer to connect with a service that suggests keywords and or description of pic/vid? don't know how or which, would just be very helpful to keep the work flow flowing 😊 @pixelfed I think a good approach is to strongly encourage users to write alt-texts and to remind users when they forget. The interface could provide examples to give users an idea of how to write a good alt-text if they're not used to it. |

@pixelfed that's cool but let's keep in mind https://mspsocial.net/@bright_helpings/108219848954173037
Sometimes, people can't for accessibility issues.
I hope PF has some ways to auto-fill the description (OCR like mastodon, or pre-fill with some meta-data)
