The creator of the capybara article is on bluesky! Here is a great supplemental thread she wrote that addresses a lot of frequently asked questions I've seen. bsky.app/profile/vero...

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

I wish they would default new accounts to having this turned on. Sure, there would be people who would go out of their way to turn it off, or enter unhelpful alt text, but I think there would also be people whose reaction is “oh yes I keep meaning to do this!” - Just generally increase awareness.

For a single photo this might be possible, but I upload 30 new Adobe Stock Photo screenshots every day, I have ME/CFS, so I can´t add an ALT text to each of them. No time. I always post 4 of them in one post.
