In that case, wouldn't it be better to have an option in the client to display the alt text below each piece of media without having to click anything?
Because sometimes we don't even have enough space to properly explain the media in the post itself due to the 500-character limit. So I guess we'd have to make a thread? Does that also mean that we should only add one image per post, since some people can't click to expand it?
