hi this is a humble request to pls talk and interact with me again! Bluesky ui is not very accessible to me so I am not checking people's feeds much unfortunately but i would love to be involved again, maybe you can reply with your latest post and I will check it out!

surely someone i know has written this, right?????

Just FYI in case anyone's interested, when you put a bunch of emojis after your screen name it makes it unnecessarily challenging for people who use screen readers to read your posts and follow you. The screen reader will read out every single emoji description every time you pop up in their feed.

Does anyone have any queer arranged marriage/marriage of convenience fantasy/sff book recs? Something like A Strange and Stubborn Endurance in terms of lose concept. I'm somewhat flexible on genre but want more queer stories with this trope.

Hi everyone! Hope you remember me 👀 Would love to get in touch with all my friends here again please comment/dm me 💜

Hi, wondering how to write good image descriptions and #AltText? Here's a detailed breakdown for you 🧵 [I am not claiming to be an expert, this advice is based on my personal experience as a visually impaired person.]

Why doesn't BlueSky login and forgot password have a view password option?

hi everyone

i am not able to tell colours apart from even slightly far anymore i wish there was a fix to my vision, just now my mom showed a green bag and i thought it was blue i want to cry

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness day (GAAD)! It's a really good opportunity to learn more about accessibility, and to celebrate the great progress in the space. We're off to the Google Accessibility Discovery Centre, and I can't wait!

Disabled people can be a valuable resource to prepare for what’s coming. We’re used to fighting for survival. We excel at emergency preparedness and contingency planning. We know what it’s like to try and survive an oppressive system that sees you as “better off dead”. We were built to resist.

Hi everyone does anyone still remember me 👀

Alt text for vision impaired who use screen readers. bsky.app/profile/bhav...

You can also require alt text for all images you share. I do, and can't post an image without alt text. bsky.app/profile/bhav... has more details.

If you're not familiar with Alt Text, there's a great primer thread here on what it is & why it's important: bsky.app/profile/bhav... To help you remember alt text for your posts, you can go to your Bsky Settings > Accessibility > Check the box for "Require alt text before posting"

Good morning, #crpdamselflies! Before we get started with prompts later today, you should know that images without Alt Text will not appear in our feed. Please remember to add image descriptions to all graphics. Thanks! 😊

I just learned about alt text—it's a simple way to make your images more accessible and help everyone enjoy your content. Definitely worth adding! Here’s how.

^ I'm not 100% that works for Bluesky. More specific advice is here: bsky.app/profile/bhav...

Hi everyone does anyone still remember me 👀

Is anyone in touch with @oedipusnj.bsky.social ? just want to know if Gregory is doing ok

4. How to add AltText on BlueSky?  BlueSky has an option to add these image descriptions through AltText. For doing so, when you upload an image to this platform, you get an option to add the AltText at the top left corner. Once you click on this you can add a thousand character description. /6

Thread on useful image descriptions #AltTextIndex

Please consider using alt text so blind and partially sighted people aren't excluded from the message. bsky.app/profile/bhav...

16. A more detailed guide on writing alt text 💜 bsky.app/profile/bhav...

A master thread to help people get settled on bsky 💙 ~be sure to check the full thread for lots of helpful tips! From useful feeds, how to write ALT text, to using block lists to help curate your space. 1. A quick guide to bsky: bsky.app/profile/rori...

Periodic reminder to use alt text on your images, friends. It helps people with visual impairments as well as anyone else who can't view images for whatever reason (and there are more reasons that might happen than you may realize).

Please try to include some alt text in the future!

Hi. Enable the Alt Text requirement before posting so you don't forget to add it -it’s important for the WOT community. This thread has more info.

Please, use alt text when you post images. Don't exclude people with visual impairments.

Hi everyone this is just to let you know to please call me B and not my name, thanks!

My writing process is usually: a) I got this b) well, fuck c) wait that part was real good d) wait no that part sucks e) I am a god of this place f) the fuck is this shit, who do I think I am, why am I here g) oh man I just figured it all out h) mistakes were made I) existential dread

We keep each other safe and informed: here's reminder to my friends here about the "why" and "how" to add ALT text to your images

It is a good place, but it is expected that all images have Alt text on them over here for accessibility. Information on how to do it here bsky.app/profile/bhav...

Another a simple concept, simply executed, but too complex for automated ALT without extensive guidance & not a little frustration BeMyEyes needs to enable an option whereby one can choose to submit this output to their volunteer pool for verification via the app share.bemyeyes.com/chat/CrBngpr...

Please use alt text on your images on here!! This is a great and useful how-to thread

Calling all the talented folks in #gamedev, #art, #photography, and really all of #bluesky! Please help keep this place accessible by adding alt text to your media!
