here is a recording of Phoenix and Callisto chewing on each other very gently, while Phoenix rants about her hard day at work and her big feelings.

So https://rblind.com is a #Lemmy instance that now exists in alpha. We’re still waiting on the next release of Lemmy with a bunch of promised #accessibility fixes, we still have to write sidebars and descriptions and rules and things, and I still need to work out the remaining infrastructure bits (realtime database backups, etc). But if you’re blind, visually impaired, or otherwise interested in this community, and want to play with Lemmy to kick the tires, feel free to apply for an account. Please note that this is a project of its own, and doesn’t mean the end of /r/blind on Reddit, and we’re not asking or expecting anyone to migrate. We’re just trying out new things, and this isn’t ready for anyone but extremely early adopters. #a11y

People of the #fediverse, especially those creating various services, there are alternatives to HCAPTCHA when you ask people to create accounts or login. Despite HCAPTCHA’s propaganda, HCAPTCHA is not truly accessible to #blind people. It requires us to give up our privacy if we choose the cookie option. The text alternative doesn’t work most times. I just tried to sign up for a /kbin server at https://redit.buzz and wasted 30 mins on HCAPTCHA.

Please be #inclusive!

A thing to remember about accessibility remediation—despite all the gaslighting, backchannel DMs, manufactured deadlines, erasure, etc.—is that you are fixing something that should have been done in the first place.
