fedi people need to chill tf out in discourse rn, its so heated that me, an anticapitalist anarchist, got called a racist capitalist pig in a thread about environmentalism where I agreed with the OP, and a stalker for accidentally sending a second follow request to someone once!

Can discourse exist on fedi without turning into instant hateful misinterpretation and gaslighting? I hope so, because it makes it harder for neurodiverse people who can't pick up on y'all's signals to not get yelled at for trying to add a mild amount of nuance to somebody's take when we AGREED. I know at least three other people who've left because they were ostracized by your bullshit craving to cancel someone once a week when they didn't even do anything wrong. Can we save cancelling people for, y'know, transphobes and such, rather than our comrades who have trouble reading your mood over the internet? Frankly it is ableist, and yes, using slurs isn't the only form of ableism that exists. Thanks for listening instead of cancelling me less than halfway through reading this post, you've done a better job than most lately.

for blind or vision impaired, having the application hide everything that the screen reader wouldn't see would be a great feature. you could think of this as a 'text' version of the application even, but spatially hiding elements and just position the text the screen reader would read over the elements would bypass the need to install a screen reader or learn to espeak (impossible if you're deaf too) as well as not give a sense of a sense of familiarity

it's (current year), why is it so hard for developers to make software accessible? it's ironic to think that software accessibility is inaccessible. it's something everyone wants to do, but it's just difficult to do. one thing that technology can actually help with is making things accessible and easy to do, so let's dream of what would be cool to have
