@xenophora @thufie Thing is, *almost everybody else* in that thread is just as bad or worse... :|

@thufie It gets worse, but maybe you've seen this one already: https://mstdn.social/@Aravosis/109311359358015002

@mart0 @dantescanline @anarchistbicycleclub i apologize for butting in, but
mental health adjacent
@MerlinJStar@mastodon.lol I... think that applies to me? It's hard to say because ADHD can totally wreck my focus and therefore any ability to read, especially complex texts... but when my brain is in the right 'state', I can tear through even highly specialized (eg. legal) texts with no problem at all.
And written material is definitely almost always easier for me to take in than spoken information, though that's probably related to auditory issues and being unable to control the "ingest speed" there.
I don't know, it's all a bit of a mess honestly.

sorry more mastodon discussion, mastodev adjacent
you know, i remember a lot of weird toys and tools that people built on top of twitter's API back in the day. i bet there could be a lot here that *are* opt-in and *not* suited for keyword harassment

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.

@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 :)
