Alt text is great because:
A) it helps people who are vision impaired.
2) it helps people who aren't Extremely Online℠ (me!) get the reference.
Ω) you can hide funny stuff in there.

Another older tip for newbies. Set your system to make you use alt text. Bluesky is the nice place, and we should be nice to users who use alt text.

Note: on Bluesky you can have your settings force you to add alt-text before posting, and I recommend doing so.

I absolutely love this, right up there with the Blue Jays starting their champagne shower with "start spreading the news, bitches". Petty division rivalry Hall of Fame stuff.

If you don't like it, win the game, idk what else to tell you.

One more thing re: my delusional fear of someone hacking me / copyrighting my work / stealing just because it would break my heart, you can destroy my relationships, ruin my reputation, make me believe in ghosts, frame me for crimes, threaten me all you want. You do not own my music. I own my music.
