James ScholesAs a #ScreenReader user, I find #hashtags at the end of a post to be suboptimal. As I'm unable to visually scan, I don't know that you haven't written anything after the hashtags, and hence have to choose between: listening to them anyway, or being okay with potentially missing content. When written inline within the flow of your text, this problem doesn't occur. #accessibility #a11y
Steve Bowbrick@jscholes Fascinating, thank you. Sounds like I’ve been doing this wrong - putting hashtags (and emojis) at the end of a tweet/toot so user can skip them but didn’t occur to me that it might not be obvious that there’s no more content to come
@bowbrick Screen reader users are varied in their personal preferences and I only speak for myself. More importantly, you are taking an interest in how a wide range of audiences consume your posts, which is incredibly thoughtful and refreshing. So "wrong" is not quite how I'd put it :)
@jscholes I run social accounts for a broadcaster in the UK. We’re trying to make our social content as accessible as our online/broadcast content. All insights welcome!
