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?

From what I've read, Twitter has blocked API access to some accessibility tools. Also, the team working on accessibility at Twitter got fired, so we can't expect them to keep up with any changes in accessibility standards.
