always use #alttext
you don't have to write a novel. just describe your #video or #picture succinctly
for pictures of #text, there's easy quick online tools to turn it into text
it's not just a matter of making mastodon a friendlier place for #disability: sometimes people aren't in a place they can listen, or they have a bad connection, or the media decayed
and some people don't boost posts without alt text, so you lose engagement
alt text
