As #mastodon grew this week I noticed more photos being posted without a description of the photo.
Please include it! Part of the reason I joined is because this placed seemed more accessible.
What I'm trying to say is I want to boost your cat photos, but I can't in good conscience do so unless those photos are accessible.

I am 100% sympathetic to your need. But I doubt anyone is going to ever take the time on their "general postings." But I believe there should be a special class of posting like "Info referral" that can't be posted without image descriptions.
And someone might build an AI bot that scans the image and suggests a basic description and then pops it up for tweaking. That will encourage the practice.
