Hi everyone! The games for blind gamers 3 game jam has ended! But that means we have 27 games that want YOUR feedback and submissions! Give these creators some love! https://itch.io/jam/games-for-blind-gamers-3/entries #GameDev #Blind #accessibility


Oh.

Apparently as part of what #Reddit is doing with the API, while they allowed some specific #accessibility apps an exemption, they didn't offer it to any apps that provided #blind users with full moderator functionality.

Which means in July, Reddit is going to start removing blind moderators for not being able to moderate, due to Reddit not planning on built-in accessibility to their site or their app, and not allowing exemptions for third party apps that support blind moderators. Indeed, Reddit admins seem somewhat unaware they have blind users and blind moderators.

I don't think #AaronSwartz would approve. But it seems clear to me that Huffman has no respect for what that man stood for and died for in the first place, and perhaps he never did. If he did, we the tech community would never have forgotten Swartz.

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!

The voice of deep experance talking about why the fluff spiky debate matters and why our #mainstreming is #blind to this https://visionon.tv/w/gq6qCiUoC2J8RqhYHgpmzq from the Extinction Rebellion, the-big-one

A look at the mess we make with our #mainstreaming.



If you're like me, then you were really happy to learn about Mastodon's enthusiastic support for image descriptions, and you were really eager to join in.

Then you went to actually write something and realized you have no idea how to present visual information in a way that is helpful/enjoyable to those who are #VisuallyImpaired or #Blind.

I found this guide really informative: https://uxdesign.cc/how-to-write-an-image-description-2f30d3bf5546

Of course, I'd also love to hear any additional tips y'all might have!
