Mastodon / fedi clients should have an option to embed any entered alt text in the image EXIF tags where possible (assuming it's not) and another option to auto populate on attach if it finds prior.

@dannotdaniel Feditext already does this and was the first client to do it. we'd love to see this accessibility feature become universal!

when an image or video is uploaded, Feditext will populate the alt text field of the media attachment from the media file's metadata; when an image is downloaded, Feditext will populate the image file's metadata from the media attachment's alt text.

@dannotdaniel I think there's a Github issue open for that already.

@colinstu nice! I should have checked..

That is very specific "the Header tag", and doesn't address actually EMBEDDING the data within the EXIF in the image, just the other direction.

I want it in the image such that if I then copy that raw image data from another toot it's already there

@Gargron This seems possible, but is it a bad idea for some reason I'm not thinking of?

oh and thanks for Mastodon!
