I'm keeping my word. I describe every single last image I publish anywhere. Even when I'm quite certain that the image in question will only be encountered by a small handful of users on Hubzilla and (streams), none of whom needs image descriptions. Just like this time: I'm describing two images in a comment on a Hubzilla post which will not be automatically forwarded to anyone on Mastodon. Mastodon users will only come across that comment if they check the whole thread.

The exception I'm making this time is that I'll only describe the image [i]once[/i]. In the alt-text. With no explanations. The target audience doesn't need to be explained what Hubzilla is, what (streams) is, what OpenWebAuth is, what single sign-on is, and they probably don't care enough about what OpenSim is to expect an explanation either. In fact, neither Hubzilla nor (streams) has alt-text and image descriptions as part of their culture.

So there will only be the image descriptions in the alt-texts and not a set of full, detailed image descriptions in the post plus one image description shortened to under 1,500 characters in the alt-text of each image.

Still, although the image is a screenshot and far from being the most complex screenshot I've ever described, the image description will be several thousand characters long. That's halfway okay because Hubzilla and (streams) have no character limits for alt-text either, apart from how much the Web interface can show at once on any given output device. But even if the Web interface can't show an alt-text to its full extent, a screen reader should still be able to read it all. And sighted Hubzilla and (streams) users can take a look at the source code of my comment.

Part of the length comes from describing my profile picture in each one of the screenshots, but there are also lots of pieces of text to describe and transcribe. To keep it "brief" this time, I won't mention and describe the typefaces, though.
