Cats of Yore: Do you always mean to do it but forget? There's a bluesky setting for that!

It is Disability Pride Month - the perfect time to learn about ALT text and start using it! www.perkins.org/resource/how...

Do you always mean to do it but forget? There's a bluesky setting for that!

If you would like more accessible cat photos in your feed, I made this starter pack of cat accounts that use ALT text: go.bsky.app/J8yqxnN

Excellent! Would you consider adding Cheddar @fartycheddarcat.bsky to the Cat Starter Pack? They use ALT descriptions on Bluesky and, while small here, they have close to 60,000 followers on the bird site. I follow them in both places and they've been pretty diligent about posting content here. Thx.

Added! Thank you!

Thank you!!!!

Thank you for the resource, and the good reminder to include alt text!! 💖 Is this starter pack something you’ll be updating in the future? Love to be able to refer back to it to check and see if there are new accounts to follow!

Yes, I'll add new accounts every time I find one. There are many cat photo accounts here but unfortunately most of them do not use ALT text - hopefully that will change and I can promote them.

Thanks 🐾❤️🐾

Okay, it's working now

I think you probably need to update your app. I am not getting an error on any devices.

No update on the play store. I'll just wait

I just use the browser

Also acts as a quality filter for shitposters like me. There have been times I've gotten the reminder and I've been like, ehhh honestly not worth putting out in the world

Best setting ever.

I remain perplexed that this setting is opt in instead of opt out

oh nice, this will remind me. thanks

ooh, thank you, I didn't know about this. just yesterday I had to delete and re-post cause I forgot to add alt text

I’ve noticed this seems to be a device-specific setting. I set it on mobile, but had to set it again on my desktop.

Thank you!!
