@thebeeguy@mastodon.ie You show us so beautiful bees and flowers, as well as interesting and useful information, but can you please also use the ALT text feature? There a lot of people here who rely on it to understand what is happening in videos and pictures. Actually I often encounter accounts that explicitly say they boost only posts accessible to visually impaired people.

@thebeeguy@mastodon.ie I mean to some people attachments without it just look like nothing. For some it might feel unclear if they are missing out on something or not. ALT text helps people to enjoy what is shown in a post, it helps to witness something people might be interested in learning more about. I want to say your account is really cool! I see that you are using the feature on photos. And probably you are extremely busy currently. At the same time it is important to not leave others behind. So I have no intention to blame anyone or make things look worse than they are, just making a point that we should include those who rely on accessibility features! And thank you for presenting the world with interesting bee insights!
