@Mabande yeah the front-end philosophy of mastodon and other fedi instances is very much caught in this mode of wanting to emulate slick coroprate UI's, way to javascript heavy, bizarre choices like this, like on several platforms the alt text appears over the image even if it hasn't been requested, there's no reason to do this at all, you can just use the html title attribute which will show the alt text on hover, or you could have a 'view alt text' button below the image.
