mastodon's frontend allows you to see the image while you describe it in the text field
pleromafe doesn't seem to
this is frustrating because even if you want your images to be accessible, it's hard to describe what's going on in them when they are thumbnail sized especially if there's a lot of text

it would be nice to be able to read the text while i'm typing in the description of what the image is

on mastofe it's a lot easier to infer what text is included in the picture, and to type it in - this makes mastofe image descriptions capable of better quality and more accurate description including but not limited to smaller text being included in the text description
