Since there are so many new people, let me implore you to please please use alt text. It allows disabled people to enjoy the internet as well. (It's me, I'm disabled people)

I actually submitted an alt text request to bsky support! I suggested being able to add alt text after an image is posted, and also the idea of community sourced alt text! That is able to be toggled in image settings.

Sorry but i don't understand, how does the Alt text help disabled people?

I got so pissed off once, I was asking an artist to alt text their images as an accessibility tool and they fought back with "but blind people can't appreciate the complexity of my work" so now I lead with reach to appeal to selfishness and it makes me very sad

Wait rly :0

Ive been trying to write in Alt text for images but whats the best way to write em? Describe every single detail, generalize? What abt videos and gifs?? Imma try to repost ur response so others can see :0 Dont wanna come off as ignorant 😭

📌

I have a question! If I post an image that is all text, how should I use alt text for that? I’ve just been putting the text, but should I also describe what it is? (As in a prompt list, a fic summary, etc.)

i feel bad because i posted a lot of art but i forgot to put in alt text... can i put them in the comments? or does it not work that way?? :<
