Please boost- this is an actual question
@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.) -
