I'm seeing an increasing number of picture posts here with no alt text, and this worries me. Please check before you post, and keep your posts accessible to everyone!
@Fragglemuppet I think some Mastodon newbees don't realize the importance of picture descriptions. It's like there's a Twitter tradition of not doing descriptions. The site should nag before accepting a post, much like Twitter will, only if you choose to drill down some menu levels and check a box.
@wx1g That's what I was thinking, bad habits from Twitter, lol. That's why we need to tamp down on it early. I mean, it is easier here, too.
@Fragglemuppet @wx1g In the very beginning, Twitter was quite good without pics. Later I observed the same with *diaspora.
