a few things you can do to make your content accessible:

- use image descriptions
- when you post videos, make sure they're captioned and/or add a transcript. transcript is really the only accessible option for deafblind folks
- when you link a podcast, do also link to the transcript
- don't put more than 2-3 emoji in your username (incredibly annoying for screenreader users)
- use CW's where appropriate. make sure they actually describe what the content is about!

For those of you who need a graphical explanation of how the fediverse works...

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.

#RIPTwitter - Well it's not dead yet...

However I'm less interested in the life/death of Twitter and much more interested in the surge on Mastodon...

...and the potential of the whole fediverse going forward. Not only is there a different sense of community here, but also there's a lot of opportunity to innovate on our own terms -- and THAT feels like a lot of fun to me.

BTW - I’m absolutely delighted that we smashed our £90K crowdfunder target to make our 90-min documentary on Brexit.

This will be THE authoritative analysis. And it was funded by over 3,000 of you and counting (broke through 3,000 just now - 3,005 now!).

We’re also getting what we call “hive research” rolling to support the info-gathering. So if you know some key case studies/ data/ resources, please email: BrexitDoc@Byline.TV
