I know posts like this exist but I really want to re-emphasize the issue of alt-text character limitations. I struggle writing alt-text on this website every time I add a picture because of the characters I'm not able to use. I've been reporting this issue for over a year and no one's been able to answer why those limitations even exist. We need a better experience in order to write effective alt-text for our disabled community. It's also such a waste of time when I need to edit my alt-text after I've already spent time crafting the perfect language. What I end up with is a sentence that makes little sense and isn't grammatically correct because I can't even use a comma. Please take a look at this and fix it. It's frustrating for all users and there's no reason for this to even be an issue. ... View more

I honestly have not been able to write effective alt-text with these limitations and our disabled audience deserves better. ... View more
