Hey Mastodon, I’m running a small experiment here. Please boost for better reach 
Do you add alt-text to your images?
@AlinaLeonova I try to but I don't always. I've ended up often deleting pictures or whole toots because I'm not happy with the alt text, or it's taking 10 minutes to write and rewrite and one finger typing on a phone with my massive hands is horrible. On the plus side I waste less time on mastodon now, as does everyone else who benefits from me not taking up space on their timeline.
@AlinaLeonova
"Is it good alt text" would be more interesting, but that would be for others to judge. I've seen a lot that doesn't get close to conveying the spirit or information in the picture.
@geoffl For now I just want to know how many people do it. How well is a different question, but I think effort counts because not everyone is good at descriptions and it might take some time to learn.
