Alt text helps with people with low vision, screenreaders, it provides more context for later searches, it can explain a pic’s background info, and it helps filtering out muted keywords contained in the image. If you’ve spoken to me, I love your content!

Please, for the love of god, if you’re going to do that “20 days of books that inspired me, just the cover, no explanation”, either write the title in the post or better yet, do f-ing alt text. Imagine being locked out of the very concept of this type of post. You know blind people read, right?

Repeated skippers of alt text, big accounts list: - tried to aim for at least 5k followers - most are political accounts that push “being good people” yet aren’t accessible - your choice to moderate if they show on your feed, their choice not to use alt text - can get off this list if they alt text

Twelve (12!!) posts to talk about not writing alt text Even posting a picture without alt text [yet having the energy to write 12 posts thinking about the topic]. It’s willful anti-disability antagonism at that point. It’s easy to remind, it uses ONE button, not 12 posts dismissing alt text use.

If you insist! Beware. I played defense in soccer for 15 years. My voice TRAVELS. *deep breath in* NEVER FORGET ALT TEXT AGAIN: 1. SETTINGS 2. ACCESSIBILITY 3. REQUIRE ALT TEXT BEFORE POSTING

Alt text. Alt text. Alt text. New platform, same rules. From doodles to dick pics, you need to be writing alt text and descriptions for your images so blind and low-vision folks can find a place here, too.

Friendly reminder on how to change settings on the app to make alt text accessible. Go to the left side, click settings, Accessibility, and turn on the setting that says “require alt text before posting” If you’re seeing this message, your content is beautiful! 🤩 but it’s inaccessible to all.
