Winnipeg residents frustrated with unusable sidewalk after snowplowing
People living along Ross Avenue W. in Winnipeg have complained to the city numerous times after snowplows left large piles of ice all over the sidewalk. Now much of it is inaccessible to pedestrians, and people using walkers or wheelchairs have no safe option.

@everton137 The fun police make #mastodon pretty much #unusable for most plp. Commenting on anything can soon become a micro #aggregation or insert (offence taken). Nothing gains mass adoption under those circumstances. #commenting become pointless. #ironic #HurtyMcFeelz

Not to pick on toot.wales, because where this link leads is just one example, but it is definitely …

… an example of why some people say Mastodon is difficult to use.

Being unusable is about more than not knowing what to click. It starts with incomprehensible text and taxonomy that present hurdles in searching for elements (buttons, links) in the interface and to correctly guessing the effect of using those elements.

By "#usable" I mean that you can #browse #profiles (instead of just beeing presented with what the #algorithm thinks you might be interested in, is profile text centred (and not picture centred), #search for #profile #text items, just be able to (send and) receive #messages even if I have not "liked back", ... -- #alovoa actually is pretty #unusable as I find it)

A #nonfederated #mastodon instance e.g. :-).

Please don't replace #GUI widgets with images. This is supposed to be a sliding on and off switch. An image replaces the check box. But if that image doesn't load, the result becomes #unusable

AI is making Meta’s apps basically unusable

If Meta thinks that users are craving more AI, they’re ignoring the fact that the Facebook and Instagram experience is already full of AI.

Has anyone else noticed that the #Apple #SpokenContent #ScreenReader has become #unusable?

Since #iOS 15, #Siri has lost the ability to #synchronize the spoken content of a webpage with what the screen reader highlights, which is supposed to be the entire point of the #accessibility feature

Now the reader is grayed out

Maybe it’s my (much larger than average) font size, or because I use the #DarkNight #app, but now I have to highlight the specific text I want to be read & command it to read
