Altering Alt Texts

I noticed that after editing a post’s alt texts, it doesn’t change. Is it supposed to be that way or is it an oversight?

Has everyone except Dreamwidth and the makers of TweeseCake forgotten how to make an edit page/option that is actually easy to use? It's an absolute mess on the Friendica page itself, so that it could take me up to ten minutes just to be able to edit a post, and Enafore, which is supposed to be an improvement on Semafore has an edit page that is completely inaccessible with NVDA. It just says "Dialogue". Whatever happened to choosing "edit" and having a normal page open, with edit boxes, combo boxes, and a "save" button? See Dreamwidth's page for a perfect example of this, both for creating and editing posts.

TweeseCake also works wonderfully, but it only allows you to go back so far in your own posts. There is no way to enter a link and have TweeseCake open it.

(Update. I can't hit return to go down a line and add tags, links, etc. in TWBlue, either! It looks like I'll strictly use them for reading favourites.)
TweeseCake and TWBlue have many things in common. The one thing that TWBlue lacks is the ability to edit my posts. This is why I can't use it as my permanent client. Does anyone know if they intend to resolve this issue in the future? It also doesn't have the conversation thread option, but I'm not quite sure how that works. Seriously, though, why wouldn't such a basic thing as editing one's own posts not be included in a client that is supposed to be accessible to the blind? I am not sure I can edit my profile here, either, which I can do on TweeseCake. But I can't view my favourites there! They keep disappearing!

Edited post notifications have informed me that an art piece sold once the poster stated exactly that.

Many people may not know this because it's not available in all the clients yet (including the "official" Mastodon iOS app), but Mastodon allows you to edit posts and you don't have to pay $8/month for the privilege. #EditingPosts

Best #Mastodon app so far is Fedilab. Large amout of functions: #PostEdits, app #Theme options, #Schedule posts, #Translation. It's a paid app ($3).

There are more functions in the app description.

I think I just figured out how to edit a post while using #Tusky! It's a bit roundabout, but it works! #EditingPosts #twittermigration #newhere #AhaMoment
It looks like editing a post is not rsally changing it, not even for people seeing it several hours after it’s been edited. This seems an incomplete if not broken Mastodon function. #Mastodon #EditingPosts #PostEditing #PostEdits #UX

Teď se prozradím, že neumím dobře Česky, ale aspoň jsem využila poprvé editaci tootu na webu.

A hle, editovaný toot dobře poznáte podle hvězdičky u času.

I hope they eventually make it possible to edit posts. My preferred style of interacting with social media is to keep repeatedly refining a post obsessively until I'm finally satisfied with it. I hate feeling like I'm not in control of my own content.
