I avoid boosting toots with images without alt-text. I do sometimes reply with an alt-text and then boost, when I have the spoons and the toot seems important enough.

As somebody mentioned in replies to the quoted toot, the / hashtags are there to help, too! :blobcatcoffee:

I would love to do lineart and coloring for a living.

I dont create my own "pose" the stick figure, the orientation and collage of what part goes where... I am good at tracing, at filling in the lines, of working with other's visual generations.

Here let me share and feel like I am a crappy alt texter because words are my handicap.

Draw time: 5 hours. I tracing a game screenshot... It's a rough piece, lines need refining,which I can do, I'd fill in the gaps and smooth out blurbs.

Hey, my first post here on Mastodon! Allow me to introduce myself! I am a hobbyist LEGO stop motion animator and aspiring storyteller! I like good stories focused on original concept as well as great stories around already established franchises (Sonic, etc.).

I hope to gain some traction on this new platform, and some new attention and feedback on my work as a whole!

Sonic the Hedgehog is knocked back, and he catches himself, grabs his bouncing Lightsaber hilt, and dodges a jump attack from Darth Vader. Vader then uses the Force to hurl a large object (in which the camera is at the moment) at Sonic, who turns quickly to address the projectile.

An AltText description of your video would make many of us more open to boosting and extending your reach here.

I find these rules very hard to swallow

Image of a hand labeled "Pills that are hard to swallow" with several pills resting in the palm. The pills are labeled "Accepting that you are chronically ill", "Giving up your career", "losing friendships/relationships", "there is no cure for your illness", and "yearning to do things your body no longer allows"

Could you please add a more detailed AltText?

The one there doesn’t actually describe the image or provide all the text on it.

It’s really just a title so I don’t think I should forward your post since it would not be accessible to much of the community that is its target audience.

If you don’t have the spoons to write a true AltText description, please use to request assistance.

Others here are happy to step up to write a text that you can later add in with editing your post.

I regret that I don’t have the spoons myself for that today.

That's what my screen reader says when it encounters a picture or screenshot of text with no alt text.
Just wasn't sure if some of you knew that.

Worked on accessibility for ! Added tooltips that describe colors, and the color wheel now describes the color too. This is to support players with colorblindness, especially as I start using colors in game objectives

@kenney for accessibility, it would be great to actually add an alt to this video too! So blind users on the fediverse can enjoy it. Writing alts might feel difficult so you can always use the hashtag to ask people to help you write this alt!

A lot of people don't boost any message lacking descriptions, so your posts will have more reach if they are properly accessible :)

Thank you for caring! <3

I'm not sure if this is what you are after as it's not a profile, but there is a hashtag which people can use if they are disabled themselves and want an abled person to write a description in the replies.

The person replying with the description can add to indicate they are responding to the request.

Proof that, as @siege has argued, women’s pro wrestling is lesbian culture. This is what Agit, one of many Nichome lesbian shot bars, and the walls are covered in posters for women’s wrestling and Takarazuka performers. This is about as gay as it gets.🤭
