@stefan @m_artigiani The attitude around alt-text is why I so rarely post media. I don't always have the time or spoons to create good alt-text, but maybe I want to share the picture of the bumblebee I took while walking through the dandelions. Some would argue it's as simple as "Bee on a dandelion," but if the text of my post covers that, why duplicate it in alt-text? Plus, I WANT to be as detailed as reasonably possible when I do make alt-text. It's good practice for being a Dungeon Master. However, that can add a solid 10 minutes to a single post while I get it just right. If I'm under the influence, sick, tired, distracted, or dealing with my own disabilities, I can't always do it. Maybe I just wanted to share the bee and move on with the task I got distracted from.
It's REALLY irks me, because I do alt-text 90% of the time, but that 10%? There's a good chance some overly-sensitive SJW is going to tell me I need to do more for disabled people while not even considering for a moment that I too am disabled.
But I guess because I don't make my disabilities my entire personality, I'm a problem for the few times I can't do alt-text.
On the plus side, I can still share photos with friends in group chat and know I'm not going to be harassed for not putting in enough labor for others.
