That'd be three separate and different descriptions per image. One in the alt-text. One redundant one under the image with no added value. And the long description
#nsfw
#sensitive
ImageALT tag ONLY if different than the short description.
You don't have to repeat what the text says in the meme.
But the alt text would need to be longer since it would need to explain what the meme is. The alt text and the short description would not be the same.
[image] (alt text = "An image about [topic]."
Basically, when you have super long descriptions (over 500 to 1000 characters), you should treat it as if you are promoting a blog post on social media (rather than the whole thing only exists on social media).
I can't choose my audience. Not when I post to the general public. My audience is whoever happens upon my posts.
And so, all I have is what I've learned so far plus deduction from what I've learned plus assumptions based on what I've learned. Plus a little hope for feedback whenever I post an image.
You may not be able to choose who views your posts, but you can and should choose your target audience.Basically, who do you want to reach? Who would resonate with your content? Those are the people you write for and you write in a style most of them will accept.
I am glad that you are working on accessibility and experimenting on how to do it best. But it is hard to help you when you ask for feedback and then reply that our feedback is wrong.
Others in your target audience are probably more suited to give you feedback.
Sure, from a Hubzilla point of view, the ideal solution would be to put everyone in my target audience into a privacy group or, if different content has different target audiences, into several privacy groups and then only post to them.
I guess you've read that shared post by @Stormgren. Image descriptions are not only good for blind or visually-impaired people, but they're also good to help sighted people understand an image which they wouldn't understand without the description.
"I have no interest in your topic, and don't even read your posts, but you violated this rule that I arbitrarily made up, and I will force you to change even if your actual followers don't even want it."
