I'm preparing a new article for #TheFutureIsFederated about the values of the Fediverse & FOSS communities (vs. Big Tech platforms).

Something that I LOVE about the #Fediverse is the encouragement to use #AltText in pics... for accessibility / people with visual impairements / ppl using screenreaders.

I see you can add #Alttext to images posted on #Threads but where do you read those descriptions?

Or is nobody using it on Threads?

If you have an example, please LMK. Thanks! 🙏

@_elena@mastodon.social Don’t know; I would investigate on my Mac but it’s powered down for the evening. I’ll have a look tomorrow morning (Aus. Central Time). I guess as the alt text attribute on the img ?

@mathi_gwithyas@ohai.social I looked for the setting under Account on my desktop computer but couldn't find it 🤷‍♀️

Thanks again for your help!
