Twitter introduces its new icon/badges and of course they cannot be distinguished from one another by color blind people because Twitter laid off everyone who thinks about accessibility in design.

“Starting today, you’ll start seeing additional icons that provide context for accounts on Twitter. In addition to blue and gold checks, you’ll see grey checks for government and multilateral accounts and square affiliation badges for select businesses.”

If I was still on bird app I couldn't make out the difference once night time settings kicked in - everything is black-and-white for 12 hours. Nobody at bird app even uses night settings.

@evacide I had heard about the color difference and my first thought was if there would be any kind of accessibility measures taken for color-blind folk. It's a shame and yet hardly surprising.

@evacide this is like the duct tape and plastic sheeting people introducing blue into the alert levels isn't it?

I always have to look it up: they stuck Grover between Oscar and Bert.

@evacide They haven't even make blue ones available worldwide. Saying that they want to destroy 'lords and peasants' system, they just substituted it with another one, which generates some cashflow. And now even more colors! 😂
