One of the great things about coming over to Mastodon has been raising my awareness of alt text for images.
Including this by default when uploading files is a great move. Not only is it better for accessibility on this platform, but it upskills people on how to do this creating content elsewhere online.
One of the best resources I have found and can highly recommend is this webpage from Harvard: https://accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/describe-content-images

Write good Alt Text to describe images
Alternative (Alt) Text is meant to convey the “why” of the image as it relates to the content of a document or webpage. It is read aloud to users by screen reader software, and it is indexed by search engines.accessibility.huit.harvard.edu
