Should we remove the `[image]` tags from the excerpt used in `og:description` and `twitter:description` or is replacing the GUID in images uploaded from iOS enough?

Showing the alt text of images in those descriptions feels like a bad idea most of the time, but I guess there are some usecases where it makes sense to include them.
