@ChanceyFleet In an instance of the road cut effect, I, a sighted person, like captions on Mastodon because they highlight the parts that the poster thought important, and what they want to draw attention to.

 @arensb @ChanceyFleet i also personally like it despite having perfect vision because my internet is complete trash sometimes and alt text is the only way i can view images at times  @arensb @ChanceyFleet it often helps me understand jokes and cultural references too. Like if a character is saying something funny, but I don't know where they're from, the caption often explains it so I can learn more about the reference :) |
@arensb @ChanceyFleet I write them as captions for everyone but have to remind myself to describe the picture as well, not just what I think is important about it.
Sometimes the descriptions involve colors and objects (a blue and black kite in a partially cloudy sky) but I remInd myself that not all seeing impaired people were born blind.
I do my best.
