Evil Is Itinerant on Nostr: I've noticed a marked decrease in the number of cat pictures with alt text recently, ...

I've noticed a marked decrease in the number of cat pictures with alt text recently, which is probably reflective of a decrease in pictures as a whole. This worries me for obvious reasons. I'm not going to nag people about it because that's another fedi thing we don't need more of, but please consider including alt text in your photos. It helps people with low or no vision, it helps people with slow connections, and it's just a nice thing to do.

I've set my app (Fedilab) to warn me both if I try to toot an image without adding alt text and if I try to boost someone else's toot which contains an image without alt text. I understand that some other apps will let you do likewise. If the web interface doesn't, that seems like a great opt-in feature to add.

Anyway, thanks for listening, and if I didn't boost your toot, that might be why.
