You are not a piece of shit. So why are you posting images without alt text? That's a piece of shit thing to do, and since you're NOT a piece of shit...why? Just use alt text, then you will be someone who isn't a piece of shit not being a piece of shit. Ideal.

Thank you BOTH I know someone who needs to hear this Can I ask, would you mind, to remind us how to do the alt 4 me thing? I think it would be a load off this friend as it's an accessibility barrier @wookietron9000.bsky.social

Just a FYI, it can be spotty coverage as it's whomever had joined the feed sees the requests. At least for me, extracting and reformating text from an image is easy with software. Others definitely can do better than I at describing images or memes or gifs.

Yepp. On android, can use google lens to rip the text from images. Used to be easier to do, but they iNoVaTeD so it's shittier :') But can still use the translate function to grab the text. That it's necessary to do the extra step is w/e but fucking Google (derogatory)

Yeah! I like that approach but I'm usually on my PC and the workflow on phone is tougher for me. So installed Copyfish in my browser and use the local OCR option and so far it's been helpful :) ocr.space/rd/copyfish?...

The only weird 2nd step for me is if a lot of text. I have to put it into a doc and word count to make sure not over 1000 characters.

Can utilize alt-text placeholder images for that specifically <3

If it requires more than one, need to rename it to be able to upload more than 1, but. It's a great secondary way to include everything without having it randomly cut off <3
