@access42 @coryse That image is not decorative. The social media post you are using to promote the training for social media posts should reflect the nature of the training. Unless it does.

@aardrian Hello Adrian! Thank you for your feedback. We respectfully disagree: the image doesn't convey extra information which would be missing from the post. This picture is only a filler and could be absent. In that case, nobody would miss any information, would they? That's why we consider it's decorative and doesn't need an accessible name. However, social networks don't let us flag decorative images as such, which is why we wrote "Decorative image".

I mentioned it because a blind friend asked me what “Image décorative” was (which I described as a close-up view of a keyboard with a bar of emoji set above the number keys and which they said was good to know given the context of the post).

I followed up because I don’t mind being that guy.

If you feel the image conveys no information and is strictly decorative, and you know Mastodon doesn’t do blank alt well, then maybe don’t include an image. It’s clearly not important.
