[Erik] Is there a preferred plugin for posting from WP to twitter? I'd like to share photos -with- alt text.
#
GWG [Erik]: Not specifically...there are many different ones

#
[pfefferle] twitter has an official one

[jgmac1106] looking for a wordpress chat room plugin....do not want people making another account. needs to work for logged in WP users...will not use BuddyPress...recommendations?
#
[Erik] The official Twitter plugin doesnt seem to do images.
#
[jgmac1106] Erik and if you use the IndieWeb plugins does the alt text nto get included
#
[jgmac1106] not*

#
[Erik] With Syndication links? I'm looking at that now
#
[Erik] My little one is asking more attention that I hoped, no luck so far.
#
[Erik] (*than I hoped)
#
GWG [Erik]: Syndication Links uses Bridgy, so you'd have to check how it handles alt text
#
GWG It could be extended to integrate with any plugin
#
[Erik] Will do. Bridgy might be an option

#
[arush] Richie will pass alternative text to Twitter. I'm replying from my watch, so I haven't read this entire thread. But, the handling of alternative text is one of the reasons why I stick with it as opposed to another syndication option.
#
GWG If not....I keep thinking about offering a native Twitter solution via something else
#
[arush] Bridgy Will also pass alternative text to mastodon I believe. I’m not sure about get hub, because I don’t know how well it actually supports alternative text.

[arush] Github
#
[arush] OK, I read back to the beginning of this thread. Eric, if you want to share images with alternative text to twitter from WordPress, I would recommend using syndication lakes wich uses Bridgy. The official Twitter plug-in would probably be easier to set up, but I don’t believe it supports alternative text at this point. I have no idea whether or not they plan on adding it.
#
[arush] Indieweb cares more about accessibility than Twitter in my experience.

#
[Erik] Thanks!
#
[Erik] And indeed, don't get me started on Twitter accessibility 😄
