After sharing a Toot about alt text usage, I got curious. This is nothing too serious though, nothing to have heated discussions over, just me being curious after isn't comments that I've read...

I know that enjoyment of alt text can also depend on the quality of the alt text! And some folks use meager alt texts, where it may just say "black cat", while others are good at describing images and will include many beautiful details. Others may want to use them but struggle with writing them, so they may use altbot or the alt4me hashtag...

It would be nice to get a good idea about how much alt texts are appreciated. Boots are welcome :boosts_ok_gay: of course.

I know some people are against the use of ai/bot for the creation of alt texts... That's not the question here. I don't mind a respectful chat about it with people that want to share. But please! Keep it kind and respectful. People that use the bot/AI, like I do, do try to write inclusive image toots that are accessible to all. Not adding any alt text would be the "lazy" option (I've been called bad names and lazy for having altbot help me with the texts).

Thanks for voting and sharing!
