If something I boost has image(s) without alt text, please check the following posts in the thread. I don’t boost posts without providing alt text (and often I just don’t boost posts without alt text that I might have otherwise unless I think they’re worth the time/effort for me to do it).

If I do this for one of your posts, please edit the post and copy/paste the text I’ve provided into the image descriptions so people who rely on screen readers can know what’s in them too.

Let’s keep the fediverse accessible.

Thanks 💕

Do you have a preference for or comments on the format of URLs? During user research, we have learned that URLs that are easy to handle are a good thing.

We are currently considering to introduce URLs that do not need more reserved usernames in #Forgejo, such as codeberg.org/-/something/ or codeberg.org/_something/.

Ever seen fancy italics, bold text, or even gothic letters in a slick marketing post on social media?

These platforms do not offer text formatting, so people use weird mathematical characters from the fringes of the Unicode spectrum. And because they aren't really letters screen reader software will announce them as silence or incomprehensible garbage.

A Mastodon post with the TalkBack speech viewer showing fake bold and italic text.
Adrian Roselli · Don’t Use Fake Bold or Italic in Social MediaI posted something on Mastodon that uses Unicode math symbols to produce fake bold and fake italic text. I used YayText.com to generate it, but I am not linking it because you I don’t want you to use it. I embedded the post, but you can go to it directly…

I was thinking of starting a collection of #accessible patterns for the web. Such resources exist already. A million of them. All saying different things.

I think I need a collection of answers to common questions and patterns for common problems that is written in easier language and closer to the real world and patterns you could copy.

Before I start my own list of things, I’d love to know which of the existing ones are worth contributing? #a11y #Accessibility

You can’t say ”it’s not worth making it accessible for only 1% of our users”. That’s a logical fallacy. And reveals a lot about your understanding of the subject area, and your value system.

If you had made it accessible to begin with, people with disabilities could’ve been 20% of your user base.

And it would have been better for 100% of your users.

Sharing some cursors. I modified the Hackneyed cursors to be high contrast and disable the animation, available as monochrome or multicolour. They use the Windows 10 and 11 default cursor colours. You can also pick any colours you want if you build from source (Codeberg).

You can download directly from my website or OpenDesktop.org.
