I've been thinking a lot about the #Fediverse ALT issue.

Some people are annoyed by posts without #Alttext, & others get reminded¹ to add it.

The core question is: How can we improve #accessibility?

Proposal:
☑️ Add a user filter to hide media posts without #AltTag
☑️ Reduced engagement on hidden posts would encourage adding #Alt text
☑️ People who need accessibility wouldn't have to encounter unlabeled media

If this gets traction, I'll open a #Mastodon GitHub issue.

I'm sighted, but I would use a hide filter for media. I don't boost or like anything without #AltTxt
