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! 🙏

@mathi_gwithyas thank you for checking Mathi! It’s just so strange - definitely looks like a big oversight

@_elena@mastodon.social Accessibility is such an important issue, and in making things accessible it really does benefit everyone. Thanks so much for exploring and documenting the topic.
