I use the service @alt_text to remind me when I oops and forget the alt text. Got dinged today; fixed it. I consider angry responses that assume a person is bad in such cases the worst bullying, and incredibly counterproductive. A gentle nudge saying, "Adding #alttext to images expands your audience to people who'll well appreciate your effort," both more effective and more Mastodonian. Often I put important extra info in the alt text and state it will behoove sighted people to read it.
