✨ Accessibility is still #1 but look at all these great reasons to use alt text! ✨

If you haven't used alt text before now's a great time to start. Bluesky makes it easy.

Settings > Accessibility > "Require alt text before posting"
Screengrab of a phone on Bluesky. It is in the Settings under Accessibility. There is a section labeled Alt text. The first option says "Require alt text before posting".
