Gregory's Server@SRLevine @xkcdbot thanks for actually providing alt text. The alt text can certainly be used to *further* artistic expression, but it shouldn't defeat the purpose of the original assistive text. @dasharez0ne is a wonderful example of such ❤️

@brk Great work, thank you so much! Maybe you could incorporate the *alt* alt text, too? @SRLevine @xkcdbot @dasharez0ne @bewitchedmind @brk @xkcdbot @dasharez0ne That always appears under the CW in the bot's post so I didn't think it was necessary. I figured screen reader users were reading that anyway. Perhaps I'm mistaken? @bewitchedmind You might be right since sometimes I think my replies are boosted and I'm not certain if screen reader users regularly scroll to the top of a thread... |
@brk You're welcome! I've corresponded with the person who runs this bot to make sure it was ok to add it and recently switched from doing it as a thread to re-pasting the images with it, which seems easier for people to find. I'll admit there have been a few comics where I've had to look up various things (and trying to alt-text the little animation game once was ugh, since I'm not a computer game person and had no idea how to play it).
