Hey all, with the continued influx of Twitter people, I'm once again seeing a drop in the number of people who add alt text/image descriptions to what they post, denying access to many disabled users here.
Exactly how you do this varies by Mastodon client app, but it is usually just below the image once you upload & before posting.
Even a short-but-useful description is better than nothing—focus on what you're trying to get others to get from the image rather than describing every detail.
@ellewadding Marking this as sensitive is almost always handled when you upload images, either at the time or you can set it as a default (your instance admin can also do this, but it's very rare; importantly, there's no algorithm or "AI" that does it).
I would thus expect to find it's set as a default, either in your general account preferences or specifically in your client app on your phone. Does this happen only when posting images via your phone or also when you post images via the web?
