Currently I use an iOS device so there might be a difference on other systems, but when you add an image to a post, the “+ Alt Text” button will appear in its top left. I checked my Accessibility settings and I don’t have any of the alt text settings turned on, so I see this by default!
A screenshot of the reply before it is sent, including all of its original text. Attached to the reply is a screenshot of a Tumblr post depicting a simplified drawing of a dog’s face, with the description “god I love how pit bulls are like”. The attached screenshot shows the alt text button, the edit image button, and the delete button. Beneath the reply and image, Bluesky has added the text “alt text describes images for blind and low vision users, and helps give context to everyone.”

A cropped screenshot of a word cloud, depicting the four most common words on the account as "fucking", "C'stajha", "Adonis", and "stupid".

Momodi & Miounne had a really awkward miscommunication and Merlwyb had to deal with two "emissaries" standing at her desk looking like this while listening to her talk about a remembrance ceremony for the Calamity (c'stajha just called livea a scamming liar)

3-by-3 Grid in sequence. An Oaxacan man wearing a red collared top with a large cascade neck-piece (source: Luvia Lazo). An abstract swirl of golden celestial light. A close-up of a single eye edited to be warm pink with a cat-like pupil. A red Mexican sunflower. A Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te with orange hair and pink eyes. An ocelot stalking the camera. A short wavy hairstyle from behind, edited to be similar to the hair color of the Miqo'te. A sandy path lined with shrubbery, arid mountains in the background. Text reading "it's you, it's you, it's all for you" on a red background that has intentional digital artifacting.

A black-and-red haired feminine Highlander from the waist-up. She is wiping away her tears and running mascara. Her expression is twisted as she cries. Her hair is blowing in the wind. Behind her is the pyramid hosting Ozma from The Weeping City of Mhach raid dungeon. The sky is dark and cloudy, but the scene is bright, as if illuminated by the moon off-screen. The sky and distant cliffs are blurred out of focus, but both the character and the pyramid are in focus.

A grey-haired feminine Keeper of the Moon from the waist-up. She is turned away from the camera, only one side of her face visible. Her arms are crossed. She is wearing a large brimmed hat with a few feathers attached, suggesting she is an Archer. She appears to be standing on a tall look-out structure within the Black Shroud. It is night-time and the moonlight casts a bluish glow from above. The background is blurred leaves and branches of the forest around her.

A chart depicting drawings of 5 original characters above FFXIV Dawntrail characters that look vaguely similar to them. 1st character is a blonde feminine Elezen above a picture of Shale, both described as "Green blonde Elezen". 1ns character is a blue-haired masculine Midlander above a picture of Geode, both described as "Gruff blue Hyur with eyepatch". 1st and 2nd character have arrows between them with the text "T4T". Shale and Geode are labeled with the same "TFT" arrows. 3rd character is a purple-haired androgynous Duskwight above a picture of Malachite, both described as "Purple Elezen with tangible anxiety". 4th and 5th characters are pink-haired child Elezen above pictures of Nostalgia and Wayakkwe, all described as "Pink haired twins with red accents". There is extra text that reads "named 'Ambrose'" with an arrow toward the 5th character and an arrow toward a photo of the final boss of Origenics named "Ambrose the Undeparted".

An orange-haired androgynous Seeker of the Sun from the chest-up. The camera is at the same eye-level as them. They have one hand on their hip. The other hand is posed in the air in front of their face with their fingers curled, as if they were holding an invisible apple. Their eyebrows are furrowed downward and their mouth is in a smirk, creating an expression of friendly pride toward the viewer. The atmosphere is warm. The background is of a distant cliff in Shaaloani, with orange rock and light amounts of foliage. The background is blurred. There is a vignette around the edges of the image to bring focus on the character.

[ #GPOSERS ✦ #GPOSE ✦ #pearlborne ]
A feminine Rava with long brunette hair with tan highlights. She is dressed like a student of Sharlayan, wearing a uniform and white gloves that have long metal claws extending from the thumb, first, and middle fingers. She is leaning into the back of a chair in the Old Sharlayan Forum. Both of her hands grip at the sides of the back of the chair. Her cheek is pressed to the chair's side. Her eyes, one brown and one gold, look aside away from the chair. Two tears stream down her cheeks, the trails short and small, suggesting she has attempted to hold them back. The camera is slightly askew. The chair is mostly blurred. The background of the Forum is blurred.

i'm begging for you to take my hand ❄️

[ #GPOSERS ✦ #GPOSE ✦ #pearlborne ]
A blue-haired feminine Viera from the torso-up. The camera is askew, placing the viewer slightly below her, which creates an atmosphere of strength on her. She is grimacing, staring angrily at an unknown subject off-camera. The camera is focused on both her face and her drawn sword, which she holds out behind her, ready to swing at any moment. She appears to be holding a shield toward the unknown subject. A blizzard blows through the scene. The background is a blurred snowy mountain.

my mind turns your life into folklore 🌈

[ #GPOSERS ✦ #GPOSE ✦ #pearlborne ]
A pink-haired feminine Raen from the waist-up. They appear to be smelling or kissing a golden glowing Elpis flower. Their eyes are half-lidded and are staring at the flower in front of their face. Their expression is difficult to determine, but could be interpreted as tired, bored, or neutral. The background is a blurred mountain. There is a circular rainbow in the background that is haloing the character's head.
