@tiefling@bardicperspiration.club my partner has made similar complaints in the past. My suggestion to them was that they might be overthinking what’s required. ‘Anthro shark girl sits on a beach’ is fine, it doesn’t have to be some long sprawling description. It’s still a hurdle for them to use mastodon sadly. Alternatively - there is an account altbot@ fuzzies.wtf (I didnt want to directly tag it) that is run by somebody and it will analyse the image if an owner tags them on it and write alt text for it. Its opt in only, uses their local resources only, doesn’t read the post text, or save anything and they use a lower power algorithm as well. More details on the page.
