➡️ "Uploading images, audio, or video with Public visibility (appears on Local or Federated timelines) without adding ALT text media descriptions"

@admin While I am not on your instance and I think this is a really admirable idea, I saw a reference to this in the accessibility tag and wanted to add - I hope you'll make allowances for people with hand and mobility problems who might have trouble or cause themselves pain by typing extra text, or who in some apps might have trouble using the alt text interface. Perhaps asking for a compromise of "please caption" included in the toot?
