Reminder that if you don’t have capacity to write alt text yourself you can use the #alt4me hashtag and someone can help you out!! Accessibility means that we help each other make things accessible 🥰 #alt4you
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 #Alt4you / #Alt4Me 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. #Alt4Me
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.

Something something about my life having inherent value and some other thing to guilt and shame people into #MutualAid and also add some #InspirationPorn for all the people who want to dehumanize a #Disabled#IndigenousMusician trying to keep her family alive and #ALT4me
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!

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 #Alt4Me 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.
Reminder, if you can't use alt text for some reason you can always use the hashtag #Alt4Me and someone will describe it for you in a comment and use the hashtag #Alt4You
Worked on accessibility for #MakeRoom! 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 #Alt4Me 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 :)

Got some spare energy and time on your hands today? Help normalise accessibility culture - look through the #ALT4me hashtag and write up some alt text for folk. :artcapy2:
Hello Mastodon, I am asking for assistance what is the name of the profile that does alt text for us. I remember something Altext for me or something like that
I'm not sure if this is what you are after as it's not a profile, but there is a hashtag #Alt4Me 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 #Alt4You 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.🤭
#ScribesAndMakers Feb 15: Welcome to ScribesAndMakers. Tell us about yourself and your creative work. (Unless specified, work refers to all your creative projects.)
Hi, I'm Kagan, a front-end web developer who's writing an urban fantasy novel. While I don't consider my web dev work for my employer to be particularly creative, I do have a few personal projects of my own that I do feel are creative. 1/2
#ScribesAndMakers day 20: Do you have a lot of cooking equipment? Would you mind sharing a picture from your kitchen? Don't forget Alt text or use #alt4me.
I have relatively little cooking equipment. What I do have is mostly pretty quotidian.
I find these rules very hard to swallow
