While I appreciate the intentions behind reminding people to add descriptions to their images, let's also focus on helping people actually write alt text.

This can be through continuing to lead by example, sharing tips, and maybe better yet, helping people write it!

@alttexthalloffame hey, I don't know if international versions are your thing, but here's a guide I wrote, in portuguese: https://alt.disquete.online

Or to put it differently: instead of just telling people that they should write alt text, let's focus on why and how.

@Alt Text Hall of Fame I really need to work more on my alt-text and image description wiki.

I don't know how many users will find a wiki with 50+ pages useful, but all that information must be gathered in one place, adapted to the culture and technology of the Fediverse and especially to Mastodon's culture and published for people to read.

I mean, the "how" has to include the elimination of quite a number of mistakes that just about everyone in the Fediverse keeps on making because they don't know that it's wrong.
