Is there any way on Mastodon to automatically filter out image posts with no alt text?
-
@det Yeah I did some looking into it and all I could find was a uBlock filter for it (and an old feature request thread on Github)
Shame, I guess I'll just resort to muting people or something
@cryptids that's what I do
-
@cryptids I think @alice has said she has a tool for filtering out images without alt text, but I had trouble searching her posts, so the best I found was this. https://lgbtqia.space/@alice/116200750952476282

@cryptids I do a lot of # Alt4You replying, which sometimes helps nudge people along...

Please boost- this is an actual question
@cryptids when using moshidon I don't display images by default, so I see the alt text (or lack thereof) first
-
@cryptids would love to know, because I'm personally done with accidentally boosting non-alt posts.
I hate retracting a boost, but my ethics say: no alt, no boost

@cryptids@yip.gay @det@critter.cafe on the flipside, however, I’m trying out this new instance of catodon for a while, and I note that if one tries to post an image without bothering to fill in at least something in the alt text, it has a special leg that reaches out and boots you in the crotch.

Oh wait, not a boot, it politely tells you to do your alt text you bastard
[offstage whisper again]
No bastard. It just tells you to do the alt text. -

@cryptids It's difficult because people sometimes put the alt text in the text of the post. We've seen people add styling which highlights no-alt-text posts with red outlines and such.

Not as far as I know, though some servers highlight them with a warning around the border of the picture.
