reminder to folks, accessibility 

I've been seeing a lot of untagged media going around lately and posting your pics is all good, but do take the time to add image descriptions to your posts!

on the web client you can do this by hovering over the image, clicking in the black gradient that appears in the bottom and typing there; on phone clients you can press the image itself and an option for it should pop up.

lots of people use screenreaders to access this, & even for others it's still useful!

@Thaminga using the phone client, do I perform this before I make the actual toot? (Im trying to figure this out as we speak)

re: reminder to folks, accessibility 

@Mrpoloman it should be available in the client itself as you're writing it; does tapping the image thumbnail after uploading it bring up a context menu? I'm not sure if this works the same between different clients, is the thing

@Thaminga I just tried it, and it pops up! Thanks for the help, Thaminga!
