    I agree that the logo isn't necessary, it adds no value to the toot

    jonas’: isn't this kind of picture generally not @alt'd exactly because it's just cosmetics? Even though in a toot they would certainly be avoided and so it may look like something meaningful that doesn't have an @alt text..

    In my experience, posts with images are being clicked on more

    Doesn't matter if it adds value or not. Here, it's an image which can be recognized by readers

    pep., as mastodon does not set alt="" for undescribed pictures (correctly), screenreaders may read stuff like "picture without description", which isn't exactly great

    if you wanted to explicitly state "this thing is cosmetics", you'd use different means or alt="", support of which probably varies a lot
