<![CDATA[I've been thinking a lot about the #Fediverse ALT issue.]]>I've been thinking a lot about the ALT issue.

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

The core question is: How can we improve ?

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

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

Oh, I also hide the boosts made by myself!

Since I'm a "serial booster", this keeps my home TL shorter.

I will add something along the lines of: "Users are are having to rely on their own workarounds" and link to your reply :)

My userContent.css makes a thick red dashed border around "non-alted" images, but mine is just a workaround.

The idea of the filter is far better, IMHO.
