Beyond accessibility (an excellent goal), the other reason this feature is needed is that Mastodon's filters also operate on alt text - so images without alt text bypass filters. So all of the important reasons that people use filters are automatically brought into the scope of impact of the lack of this feature. Once this feature is added, an important loophole will be closed in Mastodon's otherwise superior filtering capabilities. See also related issues: |

Hey, all.
Alt text is super important to the Mastodon community. Someone on my timeline was wondering if they could filter their feed so images with no alt text would be omitted/hidden. That’s a really interesting idea that would, in theory, help promote usage of alt text.
I believe it should be worth considering as a setting. How do folks feel about that?
