Perhaps filter out the empty messages?
The page accompanies a blog post about how many images have alt text on Bluesky so empty lines are included to give a feel for how many images do or don't have the descriptions: https://digitalseams.com/blog/image-descriptions-on-bluesky > This demo is part of Image descriptions on Bluesky: not bad, could be better - see the blog post for more details!
The era of AI shouldn’t require users to enter alt text. AI should be able to provide one.

AI has no idea what you're trying to convey through a picture. Imagine you're shitposting a "this is fine" meme with some bad collage on it, asking for a LLM to properly convey your take is just a fool's errand.
Alt text is not there to explain the joke, that would imply cripples are stupid.
AI is fine, if you want to go against the trillions $ come back with a proof.
LLMs fail, wow easy to find, I'll bet alt text on random internet images fails at over 10 times the rate, most are null.

What I think they’re grappling with are:
* Edge cases & slippery slopes: Distinguishing “fictional consent,” “fantasy” vs “non-consensual content,” especially in illustrated or animated work, is hard.
* Automation risk: Letting AI auto-fill alt text or auto-censor content might introduce errors, overreach, or misinterpretation.
* Creator confidence: If policies or enforcement are too strict or unpredictable, content creators (especially in adult / kink / erotic art spaces) may leave or self-censor.
* Accessibility mandate vs burden: Encouraging alt text is good, but requiring it for every image adds friction; enforcing it strictly might deter visual content.
* Policy signaling: How Bluesky frames its sexual content rules sends a message about what kinds of expression are welcome there (and what kinds are policed).
Sounds like avoiding a cross betwedb 4chan and DeviantArt?
Cool website, regardless.
Is that the correct format for at:// URIs? I get an error when dropping them into pdsls/atptools, even though the IDs are all there. Cool website, regardless.
(I think I did this to get more screen real estate or something, but I should probably explain it on the page)
Thanks!
