   I keep telling people every time that it's not about people who can't see. I use tut TUI client to browse Fedi 30% of time and when there is no alt text, I usually don't have any incentive to open the image :marseyshrug:

     @m0xEE @jeffcliff @thatguyoverthere >chances are that the one posting it doesn't care if I see it or not
     I dont agree at all, if someone posts only a image at you they want you to see it.

     It has lots of others to make up for it. But it's not even the point, do you open every link people post online if they don't provide any reason why you should do that, do you listen to every voice message you're getting sent?
     Me? I don't — if someone sends me a link to YouTube, chances are very high that I would just ignore it, add "Look, here's a great analisys of what we've been discussing last weekend!"— now I very well might follow that link. So why are images different?
     I'm not one of those people who run around and make everyone add a description to every image — but if people wan't me to see something, they should provide at least some reason. It's not necessary to describe the color of cat's nose — just note that it's a cat, not a pile of shit. If I'm in the mood to see a cat I might open that. It's not even always necessary when the post itself provides enough context, but it it's just an image without any description and any text — chances are that the one posting it doesn't care if I see it or not, so why should I?
     And come on, this isn't the first time when this gets brought up. If you don't like the people who want to make "accessible environment" — okay, your right to do so, but if you don't like their reasoning — do it for a different reason, NOT doing it only because you don't like their reasons and/or you find these people stupid is even more stupid IMO 🤷
