MODERATORS
Yup, it's for people using a screenreader
Kinda wish Lemmy would just natively implement the alt tag for images by offering an additional field when creating an image post. This could allow for more interesting descriptions beyond image transcriptions.
That's what annoys me too. If there were one, people with screen readers could just filter out the posts which don't have them.
Right now I don't think there are (m)any people here who actually get real use from them, since you would need to sift through so many posts before finding one with alt text.
