Social Media Accessibility

I was link-surfing when I came across an accessibility feature in Twitter I'd never heard of before, adding an image alt attribute!

What the whaaaat? This prompted me to check if Instagram had something similar and...

..BAM! The two social media channels I use the most often both have accessibility features I hadn't realized I could be using!

Apparently, even Tumblr has taken a stab at making their site more accessible.

But, they don't have the ability to add an img alt attribute.

What accessibility-related things have you run into on various social media platforms?
