     Sometimes, when I really like a picture that doesn't have alt-text, I write some myself and suggest it to the poster. Explaining that I can't boost it because of my blind followers who have a right to be part of the conversation.

     And I provide a link to one of the really helpful descriptions of how to write good alt-text. There are quite a few around but I just like this one.
     https://uxdesign.cc/how-to-write-an-image-description-2f30d3bf5546

     So I'm friendly and try to be helpful and mostly people weren't aware and appreciate it.

     Is it just me or the majority of posts that I am seeing now containing images don't have any #AltText ?
     One thing that I really liked here when I joined some months ago was exactly how people cared about #accessibility issues.
     I know cultures suffer loss when communities grow, but we should always encourage good practices to be maintained.
