I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.
@guilevi How do I describe my images. Do I use the hashtags?
@defrisselle @Leftcel_Infilitrator This is an example of an awesome image description. Thank you!

There is also an OCR feature to identify text in images Didn't know about that Didn't pick up any of the text

Yup, upload and click Edit It should be far more obvious or popup a text field when an image is uploaded
