Why add alt text to images when scheduling a post on Bluesky?

Adding alt text to images in your Bluesky posts is essential for several reasons:

1. Accessibility: Alt text makes your content accessible to users with visual impairments who use screen readers. Without alt text, these users miss out on important visual content.

3. Inclusion: By adding alt text, you're creating an inclusive environment that welcomes all users, regardless of disability.

4. SEO benefits: While not directly applicable to Bluesky, creating the habit of adding alt text improves your content's discoverability across platforms.
