discord and accessibility
@Fidgetcetera I'm just lad that others are paying attention to this. I haven't been harping on this that much, though maybe I ought to start doing so once more. Boosted and favourited.
masto meta, accessibility
putting it on people to recognize that their display name may be inaccessible means they're likely to recognize when it's a problem in much harder to autodetect places. for example, "zalgo text" display names can sound like utter nonsense and be hard to autodetect
masto meta, accessibility
instead of removing emoji from display names, consider:
adding a note about screen readers to the display name selection field after you've added an emoji, which says something along the lines of "hey, don't put too many of these 'cause the entire name of the emoji gets read by screen readers"
linux question, boosts welcome
so this thing we've had happened that might be... x related? perhaps? it happens on gnome and xfce.
is that on our laptop, words will have underlines until we press space/punctuation/etc
it also does things like not actually count as being typed in things like autocompleting searches, and prevent us from ctrl+backspacing (the first use of it just stops underlining)
it's weird
anyone know what could be up?
(it does also interrupt our compose key)
@luxotek What did you do, first of all? that sounds like it's gotta hurt.
discord and accessibility
so, discord appears to have remade their feedback page, in the process erasing all the old issues and their upvotes.
so we're gonna make the call for people to please, if you have a discord account, upvote this issue https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360032435152-Discord-Accessibility-for-blind-users so that maybe discord's asshole devs will finally make it actually accessible for screen readers
https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360029237411-Dyslexic-and-Visually-Impaired-Accessibility is also worth upvoting.
also @ developers, make your shit accessible from the ground up
