On SciComm.xyz, we have a rule about the use of image description; there are good reasons for that.

The most important one is because we believe that people using screen-readers (or with sight-related problems) should be 1st-class citizens on the Fediverse and should not feel excluded by inaccessible content.

But there are also very down-to-earth reasons why scientists and science communicators should use image descriptions.

A thread.
