Mastodon should have a separate text field for image attribution.
Putting "by John Doe, CC-BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia so-and-so, link" in the post body is cumbersome, putting it in the alt text is suboptimal (shows up as tooltip, at least, but there ought to be a separate title attribute).
If the Mastodon image editor had a separate text field for attribution, it could show that underneath the images like newspapers do it.
