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.
@RabBrucesSpider1 Thank you! This is the post I'm looking for to affirm and remind me, "I need to do this."
In the eat of discussion, or wanting to put up what I think is an appropriate meme, "Hey do this" goes right past me until AFTER I send the image. Of the things I really wish I could edit, "Damn, I forgot alt tags" is pretty high on my list.
@bekieark mentions a "Are you sure you want to post this image without a description" too. If there were a setting in my Mastodon web skin, I'd mash that setting to remind me. @freemo, is that something even possible? A skin on the website for, "Hey, you forgot your image description, are you sure," as a setting?
🇳🇱
I'd be happy to look into a way to do this, it sounds important and it really hit home for me. I forget to add descriptions a lot and I know I will try not to forget int he future.
@freemo
I can do better. I can be better. But tools to support better habits go a long way. :)
