Is there any reason why the official Mastodon app (I use Android) is NOT showing a warning, if you try to post a picture without ALT-TEXT?

@apps does a great UX job here and reminds me, every time I forget to add an alt text.

If needed, I can add a feature request / bug ticket.

Screenshot from the Fedilab App, saying: "There are missing media descriptions - Send anyway - Add a description" which is helping the user not to forget alttext

Thx for your reply.

On should be the standard, or?
People who are new to the Fediverse and have zero ideas what an alt-text is, will not turn it on.
We see, especially after di.day, a rise of users who have zero ideas about it.
They want an easy user experience.

We have some "hard cases" and they are so much struggling with doing it right.
