What if Mastodon had a way to save the ALT text you entered each time you used a new image. So if you used the same image later, it would some how know what you used the last time and give you the option to automatically use that instead of having to type something each and every time.

Seems to me there would be some way to be able to do this easily and to save all of us time from having to type the same thing for ALT text on a regular basis.

An EXIF metadata field would address this and more. It wouldn’t be a perfect replacement for alt-text in an HTML attribute or ARIA because it wouldn’t describe the image in context, but it’d still be a welcome addition.
