My first thought

man, we're so spoiled on Mastodon. There are like four web apps, multiple accessible IOS and Android apps, at least two accessible Windows apps (even if they both have some issues), and a couple accessible mac apps. As users we can actually choose the one we like, rather than picking the one where the largest number of features actually work with a screen reader.

My Second Thought

Man, this should just be the default state of existence. folks need to demand more. But I get it, it's so easy to just accept the current state of accessibility as normal, and then be surprised by things that actually work.

@fastfinge Yup. It's a thing. I keep thinking that something bad will happen on Mastodon and it'll all become totally inaccessible. Sort of like Twitter/X, but from what I can tell, there is a totally different vibe on Mastodon. I mean, heck, people ask about how to best implement alt text? That's so cool!

@mcourcel The thing that prevents it is that Activity Pub is an open standard. Even if Mastodon completely turned off the API, pulled a Twitter and disabled all third party clients, we could just move to Hometown or Glitchsoc or Akoma or Pleroma or Iceshrimp or Go To Social and keep communicating with everyone else.
