Ooh, one last thing: tips on encouraging use of alt-text!

If you find a toot you'd really like to boost, but it doesn't have alt-text;

* Ask the person if they'd be willing to add alt text so that you can boost their post. Be nice.

* Write the alt-text yourself in a reply to their post, with something like 'adding alt-text here before I boost', then boost it - people often look at replies to see if someone else has added alt-text, and often the OP will add it to their image.
