John took some baked beans, some of those beef li'l smokies, and some seasonings and put it all together, and it's been sitting in the fridge since he cooked it last night. So yeah it's pretty good.

@quanin @cachondo Oh and also themes are going json so that they can accommodate all the blocks that are out there. So in other words, not many design decisions being made at the theme level in order to accommodate users making the decision and implementing that via blocks. Making WordPress options-not-decisions instead of the traditional decisions-not-options.

@quanin @cachondo The one that comes to mind is the table block, although it may have been fixed. The bigger issue though is that while the default blocks that come with WordPress may be totally accessible, (and "may be" is doing a huge amount of heavy lifting here), third-party block collections are an entirely different story. And the major advantage to the block editor is that third-party blocks can be released/shared/whatever, with the usual no checks on accessibility because decentralized ETC., which is definitely creating way bigger issues than, say, TinyMCE having an issue that then needs to be fixed. And switching to the code editor isn't really a solution since there are blocks for which you need to change settings/set options/configurations.

Get the Classic Editor and Classic widgets plugins, assuming your site is self-hosted. YOu can use the block stuff with a screen reader, but it's still an efficiency nightmare and the accessibility of specific blocks is up for grabs.

This is the internet they absolutely did this.

I don't think so, can you resend it?

Is no an option? Also, sending hugs. I hope things become less overwhelming.

@serge Obviously the reverse also works too.

@serge I think good test for this stuff is "Would you call it antisemitic if it came from, say, the right?" If so, then flag it. If you'd absolutely call the right out for either saying it outright or defending it, and you want to let the left off on it, at least ponder why that is and try to do better if nothing else.

I'd suggest editing your post to refer to mainstream Mastodon instances specifically.

Wow. That's bad. Very bad.

Is this the fediverse as a whole, or Mastodon specifically?

@summersun704 Yes excellent goals.

You don't want an answer to that question. Trust me you don't.

I don't know watching Handmaid's Tale would be pretty dark for Mother's Day.

Sounds like the whole thing just sucks.

Wow that's messed up I hope it all got sorted.

Wait till they find out how podcasts work.

Yes it is very unfair today is fired.

Yay books!
