@cryptids A good question.
One can choose to be forced to provide ALT. Might be a client thing.
One small(?) thing: I’ve also noticed clients tend to offer slop-service generated ALT text. I however do prefer no ALT over confabulated slop. The null string beats the abomination.

@cryptids Some instances, like mastodon.art, have CSS set up that puts a warning frame around media without alt text. Maybe it could be set up on your instance, or with a browser plugin? Plus, I suppose adblock for a more "nuclear" option..
@samerion @cryptids Yes, I have that CSS set up on my instance. Here it is:
.media-gallery__item-thumbnail img:not([alt]), .audio-player__canvas:not([title]), .video-player video:not([title]), .media-gallery__gifv video:not([title]), .media-gallery__item-thumbnail img[alt=""], .audio-player__canvas[title=""], .video-player video[title=""], .media-gallery__gifv video[title=""] {border: 2px dashed rgba(251, 47, 47, 0.5);box-sizing: border-box;}

@samerion @cryptids This only draws the red dashed border around the image. But with a bit of tweaking you could use this to hide the container of the toot itself. If you are not the instance maintainer, then you could ask them, or you would have to inject that CSS in some other way, like with a browser extension.
The toot will still be in the HTML, so I don't know how screen readers would process that (if that is the reason for hiding those toots).

@cryptids I don't think so, but an alternative solution is to use a browser extension like TamperMonkey that lets you inject css and/or javascript into any site.
If you were to set up a basic TamperMonkey script for the site(s) in question, the following will hide every post that has an image without alt text, or no alt attribute at all.
```
GM_addStyle('
article:has(img[alt=""]),
article:has(img:not([alt])) {
display: none;
}
');

@det Yeah I did some looking into it and all I could find was a uBlock filter for it (and an old feature request thread on Github) :/
Shame, I guess I'll just resort to muting people or something
@cryptids@yip.gay @det@critter.cafe on the flipside, however, I’m trying out this new instance of catodon for a while, and I note that if one tries to post an image without bothering to fill in at least something in the alt text, it has a special leg that reaches out and boots you in the crotch.
[offstage whisper]
Oh wait, not a boot, it politely tells you to do your alt text you bastard
[offstage whisper again]
No bastard. It just tells you to do the alt text. -

@cryptids Can you please share the filter?

@cryptids I think @alice has said she has a tool for filtering out images without alt text, but I had trouble searching her posts, so the best I found was this. https://lgbtqia.space/@alice/116200750952476282 -

@cryptids I can't see an obvious way to do this directly on Pleroma or GotoSocial (the instance types I run) but at least with Pleroma/Akkoma I think you could write an MRF (https://docs-develop.pleroma.social/backend/configuration/mrf/) to do it (and I'll have a go later, just to see if it's possible.)
(Had a look in the Mastodon code but can't see anything obvious there either.) -

@bagigio @kenobit @la_mosca_2 @Donutsaurus @Zambunny cerco di rispondere in maniera più articolata. a me non sembra benaltrismo sottolineare che la storia del rapporto tra tecnologia e lavoro umano è una storia di scomparsa di mestieri. nel capitalismo molto spesso di saldo passivo tra mestieri che scompaiono e nuovi mestieri che si creano.
non mi sembra benaltrismo neanche far notare che, quando qualcuno, come nel tuo caso, dice di utilizzare l'AI e qualcuno risponde "pensa alla gente che verrà licenziata" (praticamente il tenore del 90% delle risposte nelle discussioni online sull'AI) semplicemente quel qualcuno sta facendo cherry picking sulle tecnologie che lui stesso usa o non usa. e lo dico da non utilizzatore diretto dell'AI (almeno nel mio tempo libero).1/

@betelgeuse93 @francommit @informapirata @ilsimoneviaggiatore
Oggi mi hanno dato il PC nuovo. È blindatissimo per il cloud, la mail e i file di lavoro, ma puoi installare diverse cose.
Nel mio stack lavorativo custom c'è Notepad++, QOwnNotes, Draw.io, Paint.net, Inkscape, WinMerge e un RDP manager scritto da me in Powershell.
Temo però che l'imposizione di Claude.ai renderà obsoleti diversi strumenti. Già vedo che è diventata la home app di molti colleghi.

OMG it’s an eloquent Black man explaining consequences. Who knew that was possible except every non-racist.That man is a hero. Thank you for sharing that with us.

@collectifission Wow, I'd never thought Javascript was up to sort out so complex matters.

The first radish is up, it's a French breakfast heirloom. They were planted 13 days ago along with the sugar snap peas, arugula, spinach, beets, and other radish types.
There have been 58 (F) growing degree days based on a 43F base mean temp here this year, which is more of a fruit tree blossom thing at that base temp, but it's what I keep track of. Accumulated degrees above that daily mean temp base.
