'Culture is molded on social networks, it sucks to lose out on a shared social language because you can’t see the images everyone is talking about.'
Snip from a wonderful article linked below. Please include more alt-text in your posts. It helps out greatly. Thanks.

‘May be an image’: what it’s like browsing Instagram while blind

Accessibility on social networks like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok hasn’t fully caught up, and the results can sound ridiculous. Automatic alt text based on machine learning doesn’t quite cut it.
