After 2 days, this poll has got half as many votes as it has options although I've launched it on a Sunday?
Have so many Mastodon users or instances muted me or blocked me? Or can't Mastodon users wrap their minds around having over 500 characters and/or describing images elsewhere than in alt-text?
Seriously, I've asked all of you for your opinions on something related to accessibility, and I want to see them in this poll. So please boost/"retoot" the start post of this thread once more.

tl;dr:

Also your post sets out two options then the poll has four.
Each option for sighted and for non-sighted users.
And people who want the description in the alt text have no way to vote for it. 🤔
Not an option. Explanations never go in alt-text. And Mastodon has a hard limit of 1,500 characters in alt-text and chops longer alt-texts off while my own image descriptions may have 5,000+ characters of explanations (necessary due to the niche topic) + 30,000+ characters of visual descriptions.
