Should #alttext for images on #Mastodon be whimsical or funny, or should it stick strictly to the facts?

@Negative12DollarBill I'm kind of missing the option that factuality doesn't matter as long as the alt-text is entertaining. I think not exactly few blind or visually-impaired people think this way.

Anyway, I'll stick with facts. It's hard enough for me to describe images factually and then distill my long descriptions down to a size that fits into alt-text. I don't want to be required to add whimsy, especially not in the alt-text itself where I simply don't have any room for whimsy.
