I don't think it's quite as black and white as people want it to be. I often don't know what to put in the alt text because the post itself describes the picture.
The number of self-righteous people replying to say that they "don't use a screen reader but..." and then speaking in favour of this feature is like... ugh.
I don't have a strong opinion either way, because I don't have enough information. One accessibility consultant has commented, which is good, but still no people who need alt text, e.g. visually impaired people.
If any visually impaired people tell us that this is a good idea or a bad idea in their opinion I would love that so much. But if people who don't need alt text could please stop talking. Just. Plz.
[Except the accessibility consultant, you're allowed.]

@cassolotl Tagging in @main, in case it helps increase responses from users of Screen Readers.
