If you want to be an #inclusive and #diverse platform, you need to take the feedback of people when they give it to you, and make actual changes.
This platform is difficult to navigate for blind and disabled people. We need better accessibility & design to include them. (I asked.)
This platform also lacks a good way to block/report instances & individuals across the fediverse in any meaningful way, because they show up on other instances.
As discussed before the "fediblocked" feature is fedifucked. It gives a clear hashtag for the trolls, creeps, stalkers, Nazis and racists to find and harass the reporter.
I know each individual instance has public block lists, but there are entire servers full of the most disgusting filth (as with any platform).
Additionally, I'd like to point out that Black, Brown & Indigenous creators on the birdsite and here have expressed concerns about racism, harassment, and their lived experience and then tone policed for not using a CW.
So let's have these hard conversations as members of the Cauliflower Coalition who absolutely dislike feeling uncomfortable.
Sit with your discomfort and imagine a world where your ability to "ignore" or "mute" isn't possible because of how you look, how people perceive you, or because you're disabled (even the invisible ones).
