PSA: repeating the text of the post in the alt text instead of describing the picture is not useful. People who can't see the picture (for any reason) have already read that text but do want to know what the picture is. #subtoot #alttext

@Irina I'm pretty certain that there's some Mastodon phone app out there that does this fully automatically, and the users don't know about it.

The best would be to first ask them what app they use and then to ask the app developer(s) to stop this.
