@akirapink what

@drcounelis what do you mean what
oh wait do you run different fedi software than mastodon
usually when you send images it's good practice to click that "edit" button and add a description for them but i've heard this is really inconvenient in misskey

@akirapink im on mastodon and i dont plan to add extra text even if i could

@drcounelis what. why

@akirapink why would i add anything

@drcounelis software used by blind ppl that reads words on the screen can't read images
blind ppl, you may not have realized, exist and are real

@akirapink what

@drcounelis what do you mean what

@drcounelis oh i see what
adding alt text makes it possible for blind ppl to know what is in those images, because instead of spitting out raw image data it will read the alt text caption
