   noticed a mastodon change I really hate.

   the latest security update (that also did visual changes to things)

   alt text is harder for people who don't use screen readers, to access.

   we now have to cursor over the image to read it even when clicked on to maximise.

   I'm sorry but what the fuck.

   you shouldn't (in my opinion) hide accessibility or remove useful tools like what we used to have.

   It used to show up on the bottom of your screen, made it easier to view alt text

     Now I don't know if this is a firefox thing or a design thing

     moving the cursor on an image, to perhaps move the alt text to a more readable position on the screen for you to read.

     it won't show again until you cursor off it and back onto it.
