The #RedditMigration just got spicier 🌶

#Lemmy now has 135,369 accounts. That is tracking with my expectations.

But while #Kbin had ~7,000 accounts yesterday, it’s just shot up to 30,930 accounts.

While Lemmy is the 5th most used server software on the Fediverse, Kbin is now in 10th place and it’s growing at a faster rate than Lemmy.

A few days ago, I predicted that the #RedditMigration would result in 150,000-300,000 new accounts being created on the Fediverse. That expectation has already been met.

This #RedditMigration is fundamentally changing the course of the Fediverse. It’s moved the Fediverse from being primarily about microblogging to having more eclectic use cases.

While the #TwitterMigration validated that decentralized social media can appeal to millions of people, the #RedditMigration has validated that decentralized social media has man varied applications – both in the software and use case sense.

Next week I’ll be giving a presentation about #WordPress and the #IndieWeb. I will mainly be presenting resources created by others, but also just sharing general mindsets around owning your own content online off of centralized platforms

Alright. If you run a fedi community and you *don’t* use hateCaptcha, hit me up and I’ll shout you out.

For the record, had this been an Imam in a mosque then local law enforcement and FBI would have already arrested him for incitement. #RSSFeed

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.

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!

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
