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 expected what did happen. A FOSS guy nerdsplained to me that if I want a feature I have to contribute code or pay for it. That is not solution oriented, that is kicking the problem under the bus and this kind of dev arrogance is a major problem through all of FOSS software. I work in IT for decades and I really do not need to be lectured by those guys how the worlds works (according to their views).
