As more people join the Fediverse, the % of people using alt text on images has gone down. This is not a desirable trend.
Please refuse to boost toots that have images lacking equitable alt text and/or image description.
Teach folks (capable of seeing & writing) how to write alt text/image description (including using the OCR tool in the Mastodon image edit window, if they must). https://mastodon.social/@AltTextHealthCheck/112549508282512228
