@Lino0876 @sommer I should probably point out that I'm in no way suggesting that TS or Rumble shouldn't make their stuff accessible. They should. And TS can improve that by putting back the Mastodon accessibility features they removed in their fork. I'm simply saying that you, personally, should probably cut losses unless you can get enough people together to get a larger org to pay attention to these particular cases, and that may mean you'll need to start +

@Lino0876 @sommer Whether or not they're a publicly traded company has no bearing on whether or not they should make their site/software accessible. Getting them to actually do it will almost certainly take a lawsuit, which will cost money. And even for large orgs, it's more productive to go after larger companies than to try to play whack-a-mole with all the smaller ones. That, or just make it law that every website/app must be accessible to a specific standard.

Twitter is complying with more government demands under Elon Musk by Russell Brandom
The company has not refused a single request since Musk took ownership, according to self-reported data.

I wonder if we’ll be having another congressional hearing about this because surely if it was bad for old Twitter to comply with government takedown demands then it’s also bad for new Twitter to not only comply with them but comply at a higher rate than old Twitter?

Or maybe this was never really about Twitter complying with government takedowns.

Hey there folks! I get to make a really, really, really big announcement today. I can finally, fianlly announce that, for the past 2 years, I have been working on total blind accessibility for Forza Motorsport. Here’s the audio described version of a video we made detailing these systems and how they work together to make Forza totally blind accessible. https://youtu.be/SwWn1EZTSSY

If you have a little bit of extra money and want to do a good deed today, consider donating a few dollars towards my friend/roomie’s GoFundMe. She’s had a run of bad luck and needs help to avoid more crushing debt! Any little bit helps. She’s a good person and deserves a break. And I know she will pay it forward when she’s back on her feet, she is always volunteering for community service! https://gofund.me/6ea4ed3b
If you can’t donate, boosting is also a big help!
