Social media for the blind:
Bluesky, hardly any Alt Text. To understand an image, you must open the post, tap on the image and hope your screen reader can describe it, or spend a minute or so scanning it.
X, hardly any image descriptions. The built-in AI will try to describe the images which is a major improvement, but you need to wait until the screen reader finishes reading all the info about the post.
Mastodon, loads of image descriptions. What a pleasure it is to browse my timeline here. -

And what the actual stand out features are. I try to avoid descriptions like "Tree on a hill" (I've seen quite a few like that 🤔)

@MartinTaudio @MyricaGale @RabBrucesSpider1 Any time I am writing alt text (which is ANY time I include an image) I always ask myself "Am I describing this better than an AI would?" and if not, I start again.

@alyx @djsundog @ajroach42 @vfrmedia now is the time when we get to find out who in Seattle has a forklift license

@informapirata @informatica guardiamo il lato positivo, il progetto è stato appena lanciato e sono sicuro abbia ampi margini di miglioramento.
