@mektastic @KaraLG84 Oh and Meka, sorry about blowing up your notofications a few weeks ago, and of course I'm so glad you've made it over to Mastodon and the fediverse.

In reply to @KaraLG84.

@KaraLG84 @mektastic But yeah, if they're going to loudly tell the rest of us that we're being entitled or whatever, anonymously or not, then as far as I'm concerned they should get the f*ck off the web. And yes that includes their favorite social media site.

In reply to @KaraLG84.

@KaraLG84 @mektastic Not gonna lie, those are the people who make me wish that, when making web things accessible, I could have a selecter to target "blind people who loudly proclaim to the rest of us that we are not entitled to accessibility" so I could ensure they don't get to benefit from the accessibility stuff being implemented. Spoiler alert: I can't do this, and honestly I shouldn't be able to have the ability to do this.

In reply to @mektastic.

@mektastic @KaraLG84 Oh believe me it's not just Reddit, it's Twitter too, and yeah they're the first people to either (a) take advantage of accessible stuff or (b) loudly complain when something *they* want is inaccessible. It's tiring.

@chris Also my Spotify is tied to Facebook and I need to figure out how to untie those two if I can. Don't want to lose playlists.

In reply to @chris.

@chris Yeah closing the tab. I still have the account because there are family members who refuse to leave and I do need to periodically check up since that's where they do everything, but pretty sure I won't be able to keep up the struggle so quitting while I'm ahead.

In reply to @chris.

@chris My uncle posted singing the praises of that congresswoman who concocted the Jira conspiracy and let me tell you something it was an actual struggle to not comment and tell him he's a fucking moron and that he and everyone like him deserves to be confined to the boomer playpen that is Facebook because if they venture out onto the rest of the web they'll continue hurting themselves.

In reply to @chris.

@chris I'm catching up on the last week, but honestly after looking at Facebook for 5 minutes I hope the people still using Facebook stay there and that they end up walled off. Yes I know that's cruel

In reply to @jeffjarvis.

@jeffjarvis Nobody saw this coming.

In reply to @evilcookies98.

@evilcookies98 Speaking as someone who really isn't a Bob Dillin fan, you should listen to whatever kind of music you want, whenever you want, and if people are judging you for it that's their problem not yours. Don't stop doing what you enjoy just because other people say you should.

In reply to @ppatel.

@ppatel I hope you're feeling better, but I'm sad to report that most of the drama is over on Birdchan.

In reply to @devinprater.

@devinprater I would like to not believe this, but then again I use Slack, and we know how much memory that eats.

In reply to @annmlipton.

@annmlipton (1), trans people are comparing themselves to trans people in the holocaust not to Jews, and (2), Matt Walsh can shut the fuck up and sit with the fact he's been deafeningly silent every single time one of his anti-vax pals compares themselves to the Jews on the regular and he can't seem to come up with an objection, let alone outrage.

In reply to @chris.

@chris @Jeffro And that's separate from, but exasurbated by, the accessibility pitfalls.

In reply to @chris.

@chris @Jeffro The only way the block editor causes little to no pain/friction is if the site is a simple one. And by simple I mean it's posts and maybe some pages with not a lot of fancy to them. Anything above that and you're going to encounter friction that the "convert to blocks" button isn't going to fix.

In reply to @chris.

@chris @Jeffro I don't know I think switching themes has been a royal pain for about 8 years now. It's probably more disappointing though if you're using the block editor since you're essentially being told in not so many words that the block editor is supposed to eliminate at least some of the problems since presentation and content are no longer separate.

In reply to @callunavulgaris.

@callunavulgaris As in, you're not alone.

In reply to @callunavulgaris.

@callunavulgaris Nope.

In reply to @AthenaHelivoy.

@AthenaHelivoy I think they just decided fuck it we hate our users anyway so let's just take it up several notches because we can since we have all the book data and can hamstring everything else as a result of having it. #bookstodon

In reply to @Rickster1963.

@Rickster1963 It's going OK. Yours?
