i’m probably going to start putting alt text for images in the actual text content of the post since wasteof doesn’t have alt text yet

i don’t really post images a lot, but this is just for information if you get confused why i’m doing it suddenly

technical explanation

when you attach images, you use the markdown code ![alt](url), which works in the editor, but once it’s posted, the alt text is removed because jeffalo uses dompurify which allowlists certain tags, attributes, and attribute values ( the img tag is allowed, but the alt attribute is not). this will probably be fixed in wasteof4, since jeffalo has said he’s improving image upload support in that version
