I have a problem. I wanted to post my art here, but I feel overwhelmed by the need to add an image description every time. Since my images are fantasy and scifi themed, describing the content in a meaningful manner often is very time-consuming and difficult. And because in the #Fediverse I get yelled at if I do not add an image description I am highly frustrated. So I have lots of images that were not posted here.

Any idea how to solve that? Insights? Ideas?

Obviously a good solution would be to add a mechanic so others can describe an image and the image poster can approve (or deny) a description that then is added. But that would have to be done at protocol level.

I consider it to be a suggestion, not a rule.

We might try to describe what's in it and some aspects of the aesthetic decisions made, but it's mostly not possible to successfully convey the essence of a painting with words.

It's a generous & thoughtful idea to advance (and it's not without merit to try), but the primary reason we paint is to share what can't be conveyed with words. #Painting
