   Where's the lie?

     @Radical_EgoCom I don’t know but, equally, where is the alt-text?

     (I’d love to boost some of your posts but I can’t because they exclude people who use screen readers and have other accessibility requirements that benefit from alt-text.)

     Here’s a good guide on including alt-text for your images:

     @aral
     Yeah. I have the same question. This morning my timeline was nothing but image after image from one leftist account and not one with alt text. Like- at that point it’s someone taking a stand AGAINST alt text and I had to unfollow.
     I don’t want to be a scold about it and I won’t even mention it most of the time. People forget or don’t realize it and that’s cool, but if they never use alt text it’s a stand someone is taking against using it and I can’t support that.

     @ReneeWestberry I hear you (and ditto).
