@PugJesus How odd! All your image posts seem to follow this pattern. Maybe it is a setting of your client app or your instance?

Probably of my instance; I don't use any special client app.

@PugJesus I’ve gotten on to the lead programmer of piefed, and he is now going to change the default behaviour when alt text if left off by users 🙂

To be clear, actual descriptions are *greatly* appreciated by the fediverse generally - and not just for people with limited vision - but at least in future if piefed users choose not to describe images, it won’t deceptively make it look like they have 👍
