I wonder if it would be possible to convince #mastodon devs to expand text posts by default. Expanding image posts by default and collapsing text posts by default encourages low quality content and harms accessibility. Pushing mastodon towards being a platform for screenshotted twitter posts and memes and making everything worse. Is there a way to reconfigure this within #emacsch at least?

1. A screenshot showing a Mastodon timeline with a European Commission post collapsed, and a screenshot of twitter (which is missing its alt text) expanded. Demonstrating how the rules for auto-collapsing text and expanding images harms the platform, users and accessibility.
