Hi all: research from our latest #TwitterMigration informed this interview I did with @mattontech for the IEEE Spectrum Magazine. This is one of the largest tech and software engineering trade mags, and they also shared it to their Twitter following of about 150,000+ developers…

@KaraLG84 They could, and Friendica already supports groups that Mastodon users can follow and interact with.

@mektastic @dotsonapage Bookwyrm is a decentralized Goodreads alternative that can communicate with Mastodon both ways. In other words, you can follow and interact with Bookwyrm accounts from your Mastodon instance and vice versa. Several people host Bookwyrm servers, usually for free, and you can import your books from Goodreads to get started.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.
