@[url=https://mastodon.online/@darrell73]Darrell Hilliker 👨‍🦯♾️📡[/url] The more complex and/or obscure an image is, and the more description and explanation it requires for casuals to understand it, the harder it is to describe and explain it in a way that makes the image accessible to absolutely everyone. But exactly this should always be the goal: make your images accessible to absolutely everyone with no exception.

At some point, you will inevitably have to throw [i]someone[/i] in front of the bus to cater to someone else.

It's impossible to describe the kind of images I post in a way that's short enough for absolutely all blind or visually-impaired users to comfortably have the sole remaining image description read to them by their screen readers [i]and[/i] informative and explanatory enough for casuals and especially neurodiverse people to fully understand it. The former will require [i]one[/i] image description in the alt-text that's no longer than 200 characters plus [i]no additional image description in the post[/i]. The latter will require everything, absolutely everything to be explained and described from the absolute basics up to details like single elements in the image which means tens of thousands of characters, which in turn will have to go into the post. I guess you can see the contradiction.

If the image that you want to post shows something sufficiently niche and obscure, [url=https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/item/0f3104db-9874-4c42-bb4c-68fc6cbac8a0]posting the image in the first place is ableist[/url] because at least one group of disabled people will inevitably have to suffer from at least one image description that's completely useless and totally inconvenient to them.
