    There are a number of possible remedies, so I don’t specify. All that matters is the result: web accessibility. Doesn’t matter how text alternative is provided whether by

    • adequately filling field Alt Text in post submission/edit forms
    • setting the field URL to a source or archival snapshot that is accessible
    • providing an accessible description in the field Title or Body
    • beginning the field Body with a link (so it’s directly adjacent to image) to an accessible equivalent or description

    or any other possibility as long as it achieves accessibility.

    In general, it depends on the situation. Screenshot of social media text content: link to the source or its archival snapshot. Image of pure text: don’t post that, post text instead.
