Show HN: A livestream of all image descriptions (alt text) on Bluesky
This article explores the Bluesky social media protocol and its potential impact on accessibility and alternative text for images, providing insights into the technical details and possible implications for the future of online content.
I wanted to see the analogous number for Bluesky today - my full blog post is here [2], but I found looking at the live stream was illuminating and fun too:
* Bluesky image posts are frequent enough to keep moving, but not so frequent that it's an unreadable blur.
* There's lots of bot content for things like ADS-B feeds (planes nearby), radio station "Now playing", and good old-fashioned affiliate link spam.
* There is a lot of detailed descriptions for sexual content. This was a surprise to me!
