When you find a game that you are super excited to play, but it turns out to be first person so you can't play it without getting sea sick.

Serious question for the fediverse: what screen readers do y'all use? How do they interact with the software you use? Does it expose an explicit limitation on how the programs you use are developed?

How do you get a true single-column interface on #Mastodon for #accessibility?

The so-called "single-column" UI presented at https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/mastodon-2.9/ still has 3 columns:

1. Left - posting.
2. Middle - home feed
3. Right - utilities

Zooming in with the browser eventually shows only home feed. Too bad if you were composing a post, because the composition window is gone! (Sorry I missed it - my #VisualDisability makes it hard to see things in unexpected places due to reduced visual field.)

Mastodon 2.9

The latest release of Mastodon introduces a simplified single-column interface as the new default for new users

Help people with visual disability and add #AltText to all your #images or photos in your posts! 🙏🏻

Alt text should describe the content and purpose of the photo or video. It's description of the #photo elements that are purely visual and not accessible to people with a visual disability. So help them know what is your photo about! 😍

Image below explains how you can add Alt Text (image description) on #Mastodon platforms. 🤓

@testoceratops Awesome! Thank you! I cannot play most video-centric #games due to a #VisualDisability. Having audio descriptions would be - literally - a game-changer! Also looking forward to trying it in French, to help me keep up those listening skills! #accessibility
