@Skooshjones @privsecfoss @foss Also, another reason why big tech catches on, every time, is not so much that the UX is glossy but that Zoom, Apple, etc, all know that #Accessibility is needed to, 1, be dominant. As people look for stuff and tools that are accessible to Disabled users, Apple and Zoom come up a lot because they knew that capturing accessible design was a great way to capture a huge portion of users and otherwise. 2. Accessible design works for everybody. Seriously, having a far cleaner UI is better for everybody, including developers when they need to change code later.

@hendrik @Blackbeard Keep an eye on the RBlind folks because they are working on patches to solve this problem but yes, the community of developers could/should step in to make it work. There's also KBin https://rblind.com/

@rkw_social @MacroCyclo I think so as well, yes. LibreOffice is the most maintained FOS solution to Microsoft Word. Microsoft has a billion times better accessibility support, but then again, big tech is always lightyears ahead of accessibility support, sadly! Still, I hope that tide is shifting.

@ramin_hal9001 @foss You have a point

@jdp23 Yes. Accessibility is a good start on KBin but more still needs to be done. Like, for example, I would wrap all comments to a post in a nested list item that is ordered so that way we can tell which comment is a hierarchy to another comment. I am also a little worried that others will submit code requests and additions that are not as successful as his original design, and then it’s approved, and then this one’s accessible thing is not as accessible anymore thanks to a third party contribution. Not saying that it will happen. I’m just worried because I’ve seen it happen previously

@renard_roux @foss Do you know if it can output in Shun mamuscript format with a plugin?

@AnonymousLlama He cares about accessibility, see https://kbin.social/m/kbin/p/425385/-/reply/857566

@Big_Lanids @foss Is there a hosted version somewhere?

@omarciddo It's especially ironic because these very Disabled people would be the biggest champions of FOSS if FOSS software was designed to be accessible from the ground up, or at least more development tools made it easier to do these things but the very people that could benefit the most from FOSS are completely shunned/left to fend for themselves constantly, while still unable to use your FOSS software at all, and then people wonder why big tech continues to capture that market. @foss

@Spudger @foss I would even argue that you don’t even have to be good at reading your script. Just get rid of all the jump cuts and videos would become much more bearable

@Hyperi0n @foss And we using other platforms can subscribe and more which is great!

@Badabinski Both have accessibility patches and foundations that make them far more accessible than Reddit ever was but we need to ensure that foundation holds as more developers submit patches for both without accessibility awareness or care from outside developers.

@Charcoal8645 @edgerunnergit Basically, the Fediverse is a universe of tech designed to talk and interact with each other. For example, I can interact with you even though I don't have a Lemmy account, and it works the other way too. ActivityPub connects all of us. I'm also sure interopability will strengthen as these services grow. It isn't just Mastodon focus migrations happening and this is really great!

@ernest @EnglishMobster Do you have an open Collective I can direct people to? I also love the #Accessibility work you put into this already! I hope it continues, as a screen reader user.

@Jaluvshuskies No, it's an alternative front end. Technically speaking, Mastodon/Hometown/Glitch are the Twitter of the Fediverse. I am on Hometown.

@Gaywallet I believe software is political
