when you don't write alt text, I just think you're an ignorant loser
when you write hostile alt text, I think you're a complete asshole who deserves a swift kick in the teeth.

in reply to Boo-une (1987) Dune, but scary • • •what's hostile alt text you ask?
it's when you don't actually describe what's in the image. it includes; just a joke, endless hashtags and/or emojis, extensive URLs, just a period, the file name of the image,....
I hope this helps clear things up
alt text on your picture of your cat could literally just be "my cat" and that's good enough. it's not great but you achieved the bare minimum—describing what's in the photo.
what it should not be is: "lol look at this silly guy" or "wow what a pose" or "fuzzball" or "this one time I took this picture and I thought it was so good so I wanted to share it with you"
