@Gargron Danke ๐ Deine/eure Arbeit ist so wichtig (gerade in der aktuellen Lage) :mastolove: @Gargron Great. I saw it yesterday. There wasn't any rectangle covering part of the image. @Gargron Is there a setting to keep alt text from popping up when the cursor crosses an image? @Gargron If the image is a relatively short text block, why would you summarize it rather than just including the exact text? @Gargron Browsers have a great interface but app devs need to make alt text more functional and less petty torture This is ios Mastodon โฆ and sometimes like now you canโt even access the awful interface below the keyboard @Gargron I know he doesnโt have internet but thank John Mastodon for me next time you see him @fubaroque Are you referring to the popout pictured in the screenshot? I'm not sure how that fits in with scrolling. There is no scrolling on the modal dialog nor is there a next post to scroll to. You can click anywhere to close it again. @Gargron Someone else said this too, but if there is text in an image, that exact text should be in the alt text, not just a summary of it. @Gargron at this point, if I will ever use mastodon again, it would be easier to post 1x1 image and use alt text as a body
