Reminder we're taking part in - Every Friday in February pictures without ALT text will be marked. As of Mastodon update 4.1.0 you can now add/edit ALT text when you edit a post.

Check the example image to see how the markings looks.

If you are having difficulty writing alt text for an image you can use the Hashtag Alt4Me to ask for help.

@Vivaldi NVDA doesn't read the marks though. Oh well, I'm not the one who needs to see them. Anyway, thanks for doing this!

@Vivaldi very cool stuff here. @BetaCuck4Lyfe didn't you just have a thread about atl text? Good stuff here

@Netux @Vivaldi I did! I was giving some shit to a giant asshole for his flippant, pointless alt text efforts.

If your alt text is going to be a literal waste of time, don't even write any. Save our unsighted cousins the frustration of sitting through your pointless drivel.

Not using alt text still makes you an asshole, but at least you're owning it.

@Vivaldi @SDF looks like a cool idea to try and get more #altText use.

@Vivaldi
Question: can people using interact with hashtags or are they unnecessary in them?

@Vivaldi Hey guys. Since you care about Linux and Open Source. Would you consider supporting a Vivaldi @FlatpakApps?

Flathub is the most widely used app store on Linux, and it works on every distro. You only have to support one package for the whole Linux crowd and it's also easy to package
