A gentle reminder to folks who are new to Mastodon. In solidarity with those in the disabled community who rely on screen readers, we ask that you:

* Add alt text/image descriptions when you post media
* Capitalize the first letter of every word in a hashtag #LikeThis

#StrongerTogether #Accessibility #Disability #Solidarity

Does anyone know of an image file format where the alt text can be embedded in the file itself and then read by other platforms?

Is this possible already with common image file formats?

#AskFedi #Accessibility

Quick tip: if you camelCase your hashtags, people who use screen readers will have an easier time with them.

So, for example: #twitterMigration or #TwitterMigration instead of #twittermigration

Hello !Friendica Support
Image description how?

Does this still sound like the best way to do a semantic progress/step UI?

How can I easily tell (on a phone) if an image has alt text or not on Mastodon. Would be great if Mastodon visibly flagged images that don’t have alt text with a warning in the interface so we know not to boost posts that don’t have it.

Low-key annoyed that XKCD and Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal are still using their #webcomics image alternative text to add additional jokes instead of describing their drawing. #accessibility #a11y

LET ME USE MY KEYBOARD IN YOUR 🤬 WEB FORMS! 😤

This is an awesome #accessibility initiative for blind or visually impaired PC #videogame players. This mod adds a voiceover feature to locate most things and a spoken menu with extra convenience features to the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V.
