Sometimes I just lack strength to add descriptions to the images I post and sometimes I have strength to add extra descriptions.

How about a feature that allows other people to add image descriptions to other people's posts? OP approval and all that, ofc.

@ivanrancic I'm sorry to hear that. I know how rough chronic illness can be.

Until that technical feature exists, would it be possible to add just a few words (e.g. "photo of a bee") on your low-energy days, so that blind people aren't entirely excluded? Maybe others could suggest richer alt text in comments, and you could copy it in later.

@david_megginson but what if there's no bee in an image? (joke).

Yeah, those are good alternatives in the meantime but it seems to me a dedicated solution would be optimal.

@ivanrancic What if there are two bees? Or not two bees? That is the question. 🙂

@david_megginson I assume that was Shakespeare's original intention but he wasn't great at spelling. No other explanation makes sense even remotely.

No. Other.
