We’ve started noticing a lack of use of alt text in art lately. There are many people who will not reblog if you don’t use alt text (us included) and there are many more who can’t even know what you do at all if you don’t have alt text due to a number of conditions. (1/2) bsky.app/profile/cats...
It warms our hearts to see this information going around- it’s a really great habit to get into! Thanks for all the shares and support! Let’s make Bluesky a truly inclusive place!
Bonus tip: we once saw a post that said “write alt text the way you would describe the image to a friend who isn’t looking at the image with you.” 💜🩷
The link above is a very helpful tutorial for anyone new to the concept of writing alt text. There is also a setting you can turn on that won’t let you post until you’ve written something. Even if it feels hard to learn it’s a rewarding skill. Thanks for coming to our ted talk! (2/2)
Another opportunity for me to share this awesome alt guide for art that Wren made 😊
