@scottjenson@social.coop I’ve always been curious if other people could easily suggest alt or cw that you could accept easily through UI. But maybe that’d be abused somehow.

@mwichary@mastodon.online That is an excellent suggestion and should be considered.

It's a neat idea, but there are a few drawbacks worth bringing up: Many people would get "lazy" with #altText , as they might feel the responsibility has shifted away from them to write it. If that happened, we could end up with less alt-text, not more. A #CW suggestion system might end up being a spam and strife risk, because a lot of people would not want to CW certain topics, and they might get spammed by CW requests, especially if the requests work privately like DMs. I'd take an alt-text suggestion system, but maybe not the CW suggestion system.
