Someone has taken my piano bench!

@dgar I don't know if there's something going wrong in my brainbox Dgar, but it looks like a very small piano. Like a tiny one. Like for a dollhouse.

@PatrickoftheG
I know what you mean. There’s nothing there for reference.

@dgar I really like your examples. My approach to #AltText is the same. Different details are relevant for different purposes.

The thing that frustrates me the most is when someone's alt text is missing an element that's key to understanding the joke.

@dgar @rgulick I really appreciate #AltText even though I have no vision issues. Sometimes, I just don't get the joke or why the person is posting the picture, or what is remarkable about this picture. What is obvious for the person writing the toot might not be obvious at all for everyone seeing it. In the end, I see #AltText not only as picture descriptions but also as figure legends.

@dgar I like the point about salience you make with these two images. On the bird site because adding/searching for gifs was so easy, I often used gifs where I had no idea what they were from. My alt text in those cases focused on the details that made me choose the image rather than all the details of the image.
