    Not only does adding alt-text to your media help people with disabilities help to enjoy media it also grows the #Fediverse

    When people search for media on search engines the chances are higher they end up on something on the Fedi with alt text added

    So indirect adding alt text also spreads our network even more!

    So.. ADD ALT TEXT♥️ A brief or extended description of the media posted, super simple and you help a lot of people!

    *only applies to media when your account is indexed by search

      ALL media I have ever posted myself has alt text, you can check me on that

      I try to make sure boosts also include this!

            I am on a #Friendica server and I have it set that I will see posts without from people I follow (or their boosts) that do not have #AltText
            But I do not see the images they have posted, so I just ignore them!

                  @stux I found something useful for AI … using the “Mona” app on iPhone, AI adds the alt text for me … coz, while it may be a “simple” task, it can be a time sink trying make it correctly useful,

                    @stux it not only helps people with disabilities, but people who don't speak your language as well, since alt-text can be easily translated using the "Translate" button. Especially helpful for memes or comics with baked-in text.

                      @donhawkins may as well just quit posting altogether if you can't be bothered to convey your point by yourself and have to resort to regurgitative AI

                            @joykill The Mona alt button is super handy! It does needs checks and corrections but still

                            It’s so much better for descriptions, one of the few things LLMs can be good for
