Hi all. Can any other #blind people recommend an #accessible #mastodon app for #iOS? I'm trying to find a good one that works well with VoiceOver.
Meta, "politics" question
@creatrixtiara The three most common (implicit) interpretations I've observed, probably in order of common-ness:
A) Electoral politics
B) A + activism-related reporting/research
C) B + "philosophical" deliberations and musings about political stuff and power dynamics, including systemic oppression
I've not really seen anyone consider it to include personal experiences, but I'm also on a very tightly-moderated instance, so that may well not be representative.
I personally tend to go with option C for my CWs, and it doesn't seem to make people any less likely to read or interact with it. But that's a sample size of 1, of course.

Wow. This needs to be read by everyone who joined Mastodon in the last week: https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/
re: meta, whiny twitter expats, somewhat gross hyperbole
@kescher It's an uh, shall we say, "representative" thread
@f0x @polyfloyd @gmc @whreq Is het dan niet duidelijker om gewoon als message body een link naar de toot te doen, en daar een CW op? Of werkt dat niet qua openen binnen dezelfde interface?
@f0x @polyfloyd @gmc @whreq Hm, dat ziet er wel erg verwarrend uit IMO.
meta, whiny twitter expats, somewhat gross hyperbole
@kescher It's more insidious than that, though; many of them don't quite argue against CWs as a concept, but seem to believe that it is somehow their place to decide what things "need" a CW and what things don't, despite not actually knowing why the conventions exist.
This is an entire thread of precisely that misery: https://mstdn.social/@Aravosis/109311359358015002
@polyfloyd @gmc @whreq Ah, hm, dat is wel een goede. Daar weet ik zo snel ook even geen oplossing voor.
Dog with anxiety, food issues
@clacksee@wandering.shop Yeah, that definitely sounds like a long road. Glad that you've found a net-positive solution, though!
@xor I suspect that most people here are actually pretty interested in disaster tourism around cryptoshit, as long as it's behind a CW :)
(That link is behind a paywall, though)

There's a woman on the train this morning with her sunglasses sat up on top of her head and my first thought when I looked over that direction was "oh those are nice cat ears".
That's what five years on the fedi does to you, folks. Just be ready for it, ok?

what is the professionally appropriate way to say "sorry, code machine 🅱️roke" to your manager as an explanation for why your work isn't getting done

Dog with anxiety, food issues
@clacksee@wandering.shop I've had similar issues with my cat, it sucks :/
In my case, the vet eventually suggested just feeding her "recovery food" permanently, which I didn't even know was a (safe) option, but it has largely solved the problem in her case! The downside is the cost, of course. But even at her worst, she'll still immediately chomp down on it.
Bleak, internet, meta
@rune Of course, this only applies to unethical practices. Ethical-but-illegal actions are of course also illegal on the internet.
@nolan It's worth noting that these really seem to be performance issues contained to specific (overloaded) instances; this instance doesn't have open signups, and I've pretty much not seen any performance degradation on this end, which suggests that it's not a "cascade" across the network at least.

Please do not ask marginalised people to do the work of teaching you how to be a better ally, especially if that's not explicitly their job or business. Some of us may choose to do it, but it's on our own terms, not something to be demanded of us just by virtue of existing.
There are more than enough resources out there for you to learn on your own. Plenty you can observe. You don't need us hand-holding you through your every misstep. We've got our own things to do!
"Please teach us because the only way we can learn is if you tell us where we got it wrong" is not reasonable.
