@David Bisset There are three things I like about this.
One, while it's about alt-text, it doesn't treat alt-text and image description as identical and mutually synonymous. It actually mentions that certain things should be described in the post.
This is completely useless for both commercial walled-garden social networks/microblogging services and Mastodon due to their puny character limits. But for the Fediverse outside of Mastodon, it's the more useful.
Two, at the same time, it doesn't imply that everything and anything where you may add alt-text to an image is a static website or an HTML-based blog.
Three, it acknowledges that there are pictures about topics that are too niche for most people, and that require some more description and explanation. Unlike alt-text guides for Mastodon, it doesn't imply that everything is as simple and casual as a cat photo.
