Is there any way on Mastodon to automatically filter out image posts with no alt text?

Edit: think I've got my answer- thanks y'all!
Edit 2: Copy-pasting my reply to compile the solutions from the comments: The best solution for my usecase (mobile on iOS) is Martin Wenisch's fork of Phanpy (https://mastodon.cesko.digital/@mwenisch/116249807965211752)  but if you're on Android the Moshidon app client is also an option and if you're on PC there's uBlock and Tampermokey scripts (https://neilzone.co.uk/2024/02/suppressing-posts-containing-images-with-no-alt-text-in-the-mastodon-advanced-web-ui-via-ublock-origin/ & https://social.jpoesen.com/@jpoesen/116250073497451531)

@[email protected] I did a quick fork of Phanpy (web client) that hides posts with images without alt text. It's on the client side: https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/compare/main...martinwenisch:phanpy:main I wonder if this would be an option. It'll be hard to push it to the upstream, as it's out of their scope. But if enough people would use it, I'd polish it with a settings switch and try.

@cryptids would love to know, because I'm personally done with accidentally boosting non-alt posts.

I hate retracting a boost, but my ethics say: no alt, no boost

@sortius @cryptids Same. It would be so much nicer to have them filtered

I have no qualms about taking an image and posting it myself with AltText if I like it enough. If the OP couldn’t be bothered I figure it’s fair game.
