@PugJesus thanks for putting #altText on the picture, but please don’t just repeat the text already in the post there; much better to actually describe the image in some way. Thanks :)
To be clear, actual descriptions are *greatly* appreciated by the fediverse generally - and not just for people with limited vision - but at least in future if piefed users choose not to describe images, it won’t deceptively make it look like they have 👍

I didn’t put any alt text on the picture. If there’s alt text, it was automatically added.
@PugJesus How odd! All your image posts seem to follow this pattern. Maybe it is a setting of your client app or your instance?
Probably of my instance; I don’t use any special client app.
@PugJesus I’ve gotten on to the lead programmer of piefed, and he is now going to change the default behaviour when alt text if left off by users 🙂
