   One of the challenges of using Mastodon is writing ALT text for each post. If you forget to include ALT text, someone may remind (or yell back at) you. While this can be frustrating, it's actually an excellent opportunity to improve my English skills while also making my posts more accessible to others. So, in the end, it's a win-win situation for everyone involved. Writing ALT text is also art. #mastodon

     Writing ALT text on the iOS app is challenging because it doesn't allow for new line breaks. It just shows one big line. This is my major source of frustration. It's easier to do on a desktop.

     @nixCraft Do you know @alt_text? It is a nice bot that checks your posts if the alt-text of a medium is missing and tells you about that.

     @nixCraft I didn't know you needed to improve your English skills. I assumed that you were a native speaker.
