🤔 Meta Twitter question—What’s this recent trend of folks providing “alt: [desc]” image descriptions in a reply instead of using Twitter’s native feature (help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/picture-descriptions)? I use the native feature and find manual descriptions make Twitter noisier for me as sighted user.Permalink On twitter.com

Are there screen readers that don’t handle Twitter’s native image descriptions at all, incorrectly, or not well enough? Don’t people know it’s an option in the first place? Or am I missing something else?Permalink On twitter.com

Ah, also apparently not all Twitter clients support the native feature, I haven’t thought of this. Apparently Tweetbot is one of them (according to some blog posts, but I have never used it). This would be a reason for me to switch to a new client.On twitter.com
