I do like it here on Mastodon, but the huge influx of people from Twitter means there are far fewer image descriptions than from even a couple of weeks ago. I’d love to tell every one of them about this, but quite frankly there are so many I don’t have the patience. I’d dearly love it if apps could block posts unless an image description was added to every photo, but I suppose that’s too much to hope for. I’m feeling really excluded from so many conversations. It’s getting as bad as Twitter.
There's a bot that works much more easily that @PleaseCaption.
It's just following @alt_text
It points to me with a DM every time I do not use #AltText. Eventually doing alt text became habitual for me.
Keep telling everyone to follow @alt_text
Here is it's self-description:
An automated friend who reminds you to caption your images. Follow to opt in, unfollow to opt out.
@alt_text @EubieDrew @PleaseCaption Thanks. I hadn’t heard about that one.
@RabBrucesSpider1 @alt_text
