   Yeah, there is (currently) no system for adding alt text directly to banners or profile images. People have worked around this by describing them in their profile texts, but this isn't ideal either as the character limit is quite low there.

   (Guessing this is possibly due to old web guidelines saying no alt texts on "decorative" images...)

   If you're comfortable using github, you can vote for this to be fixed by giving a thumbs up at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/10313

     @SamiMaatta if that’s how it is, that’s just plain sad, kinda expected better on mastodon. Thanks for responding.
