So why is alt text suddenly no longer aria tags and otherwise? Why is accessibility now plastered text across a Lemmy pic? In scenarios that have never been considered accessibility critical?
I can see the image, and I can see the text… no meta data for screen readers… Why are we now rendering sentences VISUALLY onto images?
I think you’re complaining that your lemmy client displays the alt text over the image. Mine does that with videos, which I also find annoying, but not with images. In any case, it is a client issue, so you could ask your developer nicely for an option to disable this behaviour (or look in the settings if it’s already possible)

Oic, you’re complaining about screenshots of text as memes, not alt text.
Carry on.
