No one owns your content, or account, no one will push adverts at you.

You can mute or block people or entire servers.

Regarding alt text:

The official mastodon mobile app currently has no way to show alt text.

For those that want to view the alt text (which often gives a good description), try an alternate mobile app.

I use Tusky (Android only) or 'Roma For Pleroma' (seems to be available for iPhone as well as Android).

IPhone users may also find this list helpful:
