Here is Part 3 of a good set of articles on Buffer and Hootsuite and the
progression of the end use tweets (don't know about the interfaces
themselves)
https://www.lireo.com/part-3-alternative-text-for-images-buffer-announces-support-for-extension/

Hootsuite is still not allowing for alt text, which is a shame because many
people use it and one has to give that caveat every time it is mentioned.
Whereas Buffer added the alt feature within about 8 months...
