Infographic entitled, โ€œWhy do I need alt text?โ€

1) Having it is non-negotiable
Alt text is a minimum accessibility standard for websites, social media, and emails. Having it on all necessary images ensure that all users, regardless of visual ability, can access the content on your site.

2) Context and Information 
Using alt text ensures that no context or necessary information is lost for those using screen readers, or if an image cannot loaded for any reason.

3) Search Results 
Search engines use alt text when scanning pages to deliver better results for those looking for information on your site.

โ€œHow To Write Alt Textโ€ infographic featuring a photo of a capybara. 

Writing Alt Text: identify who, expression, description, color, and interesting features. 

In the image, these elements are color-coded and assembled into an example that describes the depicted capybara. The example reads, โ€œA capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybaraโ€™s head.โ€

write what is relevant to give the user an accurate idea of your artwork:
โ€ข the medium used
โ€ข the subject of the artwork
โ€ข anything that is relevant for understanding the meaning of the artwork
โ€ข write sentences. don't just throw away keywords

Alt Text Challenge for Disability Justice!

I challenge you to:

1) Subscribe to @baatl.mastod.one to see how much of bsky is inaccessible.

2) Ask someone you follow who doesnโ€™t use alt text to start doing so.

3) Ensure you canโ€™t forget alt text: bsky settings > accessibility > require alt text.

Tips for moving from Xitter to Bluesky
Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweetsโ€”recycling is encouraged! This way, when people see you followed them and they check your profile, theyโ€™ll know what you are about and might follow back.
Turn off NSFW filters in Moderation > Content Filtering 
Find your friends using a tool like skeet.labnotes.org  or Sky Follower Bridge. Not perfect, but theyโ€™ll find the majority of the people you were following.
Turn on โ€œshow posts from my feedsโ€ in Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This will add random posts from them to your main feed, but tweaked to your liking, no ads and BS. I recommend the Catch Up feed (kinda like a โ€œbest ofโ€).
Tweak Reply Filters to something that works for you, also at Settings > Home Feed Preferences. This shows replies from people you follow to anyone else on your main feed... (ALT text too long, continues in comments)

An info-board summarising the difference between Twitter/X and Bluesky, and the potential advantages that come with the latter.

An info-board summarising the difference between Twitter/X and Bluesky, and the potential advantages that come with the latter.

With all of us coming here to Bluesky, we are all essentially hitting a big reset button.

Twitter promoted a lot of toxic unhealthy traits in the pursuit for clout thanks to its awful algorithm.

Here, those toxic fucks don't have an algorithm to push their bullshit. This is a huge chance for us.
