I can't believe I wrote, "Imagine you're a visually impaired Mastodon user and you SEE..." Oy! ๐ Anyway, it's edited now.

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot This is new to me, but the last few images I posted, I really tried to give a good description.

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot Can you give a quick tutorial on how to describe images?

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot Haha, yeah, alt text is a really good thing to include with images, sometimes it can even help people who aren't visually impaired, if the image is of an item the viewer isn't familiar with and stuff like that. I don't see too well myself, and I hate how on Mastodon in the web browser, when I have the page zoomed in on a timeline, posts and stuff seem to vibrate. It's really strange. I think it might have to do with the scrollbar or something.

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot it gets even funnier when your instance is misconfigured or acting up ;)

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot "Describe images. It's an act of love. Describe them as you would to a dear friend you were talking to on the phone." So well put!

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot For your picture description. The dark expanse before us is mentally gripping as our eyes search out for the smallest morsel of light or item. Sadly the expanse of black leaves one wanting and forever in the darkened void.

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot good ole 508 compliance in the US is almost all just good coding practices like describing what your images do!

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot for the record, that's a pure black rectangle with a white frame

@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot @HollyGoDarkly@wandering.shop I wish the default behavior was to require descriptions so that you had to make an explicit choice to not include them.
