Oh, look, moves by a government to control the media! Wow, *definitely* never seen this one before at any time in history!!

Navigating social media is often very difficult for visually impaired people. When they can't see your memes and images they are being excluded.

If you really find it difficult (disabilities etc.) there's a free AI tool to do it for you here: ahrefs.com/writing-tool...

Two Bluesky Accessibility settings: "Require alt text before posting" and "Display larger alt text badges." Both options are activated by the user.

Folks, do you want to support accessibility and inclusion but forget to add Alt Text to your posts?

βš™οΈβ™Ώ Go to Settings β†’ Accessibility and turn on, "Require alt text before posting."

(Figured I'd share here since it's relevant. 😊)
