@textfiles Alt text:

@k @textfiles We should really have community alt texts here.

@ashiisbest @textfiles or people should just add alt text's to their images by default :D

@k @textfiles Yeah or we could use that energy to insure that potientially almost every major post in the future can have alt. text. Mastodon is getting bigger and we can't just police alt text all the time. The best thing we can do is just have a feature that allows users (who are trusted of course) to add the alt text

@ashiisbest @k @textfiles one good thing about pre-musk bird site was the alt text OCR bot that you could summon to OCR a screenshot of text. It also reminded you with a direct message if you posted something or boosted something that had no alt text. It got me into the habit real quick!
