Here's a cool article about musicians trying to keep themselves and their audiences safer from Covid etc. in '26. It really sums up where things are at these days. #covid #covidIsNotOver #wearaMask #maskup #music

I can't find the alt text button but this is a photo of I think Deerfhoof playing in front of a crowd. The band is masking.

Thanks for sharing this story

Re: image descriptions/alt text -

When you attach an image, GIF, or video of your own then there will be an alt text button or other way to add alt text. But when it's a preview image (Mastodon software shows previews of web pages when links are included) then you can't add alt text the same way. So that's why you couldn't find an alt text button.

Sometimes the image on the web page has alt text and then the preview can show it.

Hope this helps
