I just got a long screed by DM yelling at me for my "hostile stance on alt-text". Huh? I think alt-text is great, and I work hard to include useful descriptions in the photos I post.
It's not the first such message I've gotten. I have no idea where these people are getting this completely wrong idea. I once commented that I struggle with meaningful descriptions for my abstracts, but that's because I'm trying to do a good job with it without misrepresenting the work.
Please cut me some slack.
Like, if you look at all the photos I post (I do about one a day), you'll find alt-text. Alt-text (and accessibility generally) is important.
This idea that I'm somehow "against" alt-text is not only wrong, it's OBVIOUSLY wrong.
I have many faults and character flaws. They aren't hard to find. There's no need to make up fake ones.
