@forestine If it isn't obvious what an (important) object in an image is, the information goes into the post text. If the information is necessary for the visual description of the image, i.e. turning the image into words, the information goes both into the alt-text and into the post text. I've got more than two years of experience at describing images that show things way more obscure than a can opener. And in fact, I always have two image descriptions, one in the alt-text and a much longer one in the post text. #Long #LongPost #CWLong #CWLongPost #AltText #AltTextMeta #CWAltTextMeta #ImageDescription #ImageDescriptions #ImageDescriptionMeta #CWImageDescriptionMeta

    @jupiter_rowland i just find that people think they are better photographers than they are. i have visual processing issues so basic alt text does tell me what people are posting. i agree that longer explanations go in the post body, but basic info is helpful.
