  @alternative_be @sl007 @bright_helpings @aral I think there's a bug. I enter alt text, save etc, only to have it not be visible after I have posted the image.

  @sl007 @bright_helpings @aral When I upload pictures I add descriptions. However I am not sure whether I do things right, because I fall to notice the descriptions after uploading them.

  about “describing your images”:
  In the ActivityPub forum, there is also a thread about writing a formal Fediverse Enhancement Proposal.
  This goes then to all the implementors, developers, writers of ActivityPub software.

  “When media such as images and video are uploaded and shared without captions, it excludes the visually impaired from knowing what the content is.
  To address this, some user interfaces highlight such media so that people can be more easily made aware of this deficiency in what they may share. People can then reply to ask for a captioned repost, or decide whether they want to share or otherwise engage with such content.”
  I have added this thread there too, the Link is https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/would-media-captioning-make-a-good-fep/2319

To address this, some user interfaces highlight such media so that people can be more easily made aware of this deficiency in what they may share. People can then reply to ask for a captioned repost, or decide whether they want to share or otherwise engage with such content. The question is, would formalization of captioning make sense as a FEP? This...
