Add a native setting to hide from the feed posts containing images without alt text

[cygaj]

There are labelers that do something like that but I think there should be a native accessibility/moderation setting to hide or remove from feed posts that either contain images without alt text / or none of images in them have alt text — I've seen people describe series of images in a single alt text, I don't know what would be the right solution. I think there should be a way to assign "null" alt texts, which would help in such situations – have one alt text describing whole sequence, and the rest of images get null alt texts

There are many people who in contrast to me think that alt texts should be mandatory, but lots of visual art really has no real value besides of the visual minutia and describing it would be either pointless or an involved exercise in creative writing (which is an unreasonable barrier of entry for posting visual art – no one is required to be a poet in order to be a painter). Instead I believe people should be given ample tools to avoid such purely visual posts if they wish to

I fully support this request. I would like to see a feature that allows users to filter out posts without ALT texts to better support the visually impaired community. I don't want to see or share posts that lack accessibility.

Regarding visual art: Many people with visual impairments enjoy visual art, and having ALT text is crucial for their participation. To ensure high-quality ALT texts, posters could also utilize AI-based tools (e.g., ChatGPT, which has shown good results).
