<p>In mastodon after uploading an image you can click edit and add a text description to help persons with eyesight problem find out what the image is.</p>

<p>This is an excellent accessibility feature.</p>

<p>On 31/12/2020, I reported an issue with this feature. This is currently under investigation.</p>

<p>On a related note, there is a really nice promotional video for Mastodon.</p>
