@dbloom Thank you for tagging me!

Hmm, I wonder if some of the description should really be just in the text of the post, rather than alt text.

@Alt Text Hall of Fame @David Bloom Yes.

Explanations, or any other information available neither in the image nor in the post text, must never ever go into the alt-text. That's because not everyone can access alt-text. And to those who can't access alt-text, any information exclusively available in alt-text is inaccessible and therefore lost.
