[why don't you implement an edit feature?] ... and why don't you make doing "alt text" less onerous? Don't bug me about it, fix the damn system...

I'm forgetful and find the require alt text before posting setting useful. I think I am partially responsible for it's existence You're right, alt is best editable, and I am working on tools to make writing it easier, this one is very much a stalled by brain cancer work in progress my.alt-text.org

Can you explain why you've put alt text in scare quotes? Also, do you know the history of alt text? It's really interesting! I wrote a thread.
The history of alt text goes back to 1993. The alt attribute was introduced for HTML 1.2 to be used for text-based browsers, which load faster by not loading most of the graphic content. This was a big deal when bandwidth connections were super limited.

Just a heads up that putting a web address on the alt text just means someone using a screen reader is stuck listening to a web address being read out. Alt text is for image descriptions and is an accessibility tool 💜

We also can't click on the link... So get it read to us without being able to do anything with that information. But hey! It's "alt text", scare quotes absolutely needed /s. And AI will solve it or something. Fuck that noise =_=

Yes, that would definitely be the thing they'd drive in a remake of #SurfNinjas.
