I’ve written an open letter asking organisations that engage online with the blind community to come to Mastodon in light of the significant #accessibility regressions at Twitter.
If you agree, please sign it and share it as widely as you can. This is one occasion where if we can show how many of us care about this issue, it will make it clear that it’s worth companies putting in the effort to be here.
I would also be very grateful for the support of our sighted friends.
Thank you.

@JonathanMosen serious question: as a person with low vision, I'm wondering what exactly Twitter is doing that makes it hard for those of us with low or no sight to use it?

@rikimae @JonathanMosen For me, the iPhone client is behaving in strange unpredictable ways. The reply function wasn't working for a period of time last week. If I bring up one of my lists, I can only look at the first 25 posts or so. Using VoiceOver here. I'm sure people are finding other things wrong depending on how they use the service.

@douglawlor @JonathanMosen maybe it's just the iPhone client. I use the Android version, and I have no issues with it at all

@douglawlor @rikimae @JonathanMosen that problem with the lists not loading is annoying me intensely! Lists are the only way to avoid the dodgy algorithm! I don’t spend much time there now
