I suggest adding an empty argument alt.

`+ alt=""`

I believe Discourse only adds alt if the person making the post includes it.

Markdown with alt:

![Hello, I'm alt text](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/stranik/45/57671_1.png)

HTML with alt:  
 ![Alternative alt](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/stranik/45/57671_1.png)

No alt:
