Wait, the effort I put into the alt-text for this got recognition? π₯Ή
Yeah I hope to encourage people to continue to, or start writing alt text with this.
Well it's definitely working on me! (I'm an absolute sucker for these things.)
Shout out to @Edie@hexbear.net for explaining how the whole thing works to me very recently.
I wish I could add this bot to every single document I write. Fantastic bot!
bot?
In that case your dedication to this is incredible- thank you for your service o7
It helps to have a modified version of my signature script which inserts what I usually post (the markdown for the image and "alt text"), so I only have to click the reply button, makes it much quicker.
I did think about making it a bot, but since not all alt text is actually good, I wanted to make sure I could reply
Using alt text for random shit
in that case.
Awesome!!! Cool way to help with making such a useful tool for helping the community form better habits. Especially for a fairly unknown/underutilized aspect of technology
