I just made a ticket for bringing #Misskey support to the Senaphore platform. I'm highly sure others will be able to explain way better in the comments!

As accessible/blind-friendly Misskey clients are few and far between for all platforms, would it be possible to support both Misskey and its forks via the Semaphore interface, especially since Miss...GitHub

Folks, I just found a treasure trove:
a list of over 1,300 #journalists that already are on #Mastodon in the form of a #googledoc
In order to give the #BorgSite its final push, journalists there need to see that there really is an audience for them here in the free #fediverse
Some pull marketing would be helpful: follow as many, as you find sensible. This helps a lot.
Please boost!

This is big. No #embargoes. No #APCs.
"The #EU is ready to agree that immediate #OpenAccess to papers reporting publicly funded research should become the norm, w/o authors having to pay fees & that the bloc should support #nonprofit scholarly publishing models.
In a move that could send shockwaves through commercial scholarly #publishing, the positions are due to be adopted by the Council of the EU member state governments later this month."

Update. The #EuropeanCouncil just adopted the #OpenScience proposal anticipated earlier this month (this thread, above). No #embargoes. No #APCs. #Nonprofit publishing. #OpenLicenses. #OpenInfrastructure. consilium.europa.eu/en/press/p…
While this is not yet policy, it's a weighty recommendation to the Commission and member states.

#DraculaDaily recently started again, so I thought it would be nice to share some links and free resources 😊
It all began with the Substack newsletter: Dracula is an epistolary novel that starts on May 3rd through November 7th and if you subscribe to Daily Dracula they'll send you emails with the content of the book on that specific day!
🔗draculadaily.substack.com/abou…
If you prefer the audio format, I have two podcasts/audiobooks for you:
🧛 Re: Dracula, which I discovered yesterday thanks to @weirdwriter (🔗shows.acast.com/re-dracula),
🧛 and the Dracula RadioPlay Experience by Cryptic Canticles (🔗crypticcanticles.com/dracula/). I listened to this one last year and it was very enjoyable.
IMO they're both really good, there's backgroung music and different voice actors. Re: Dracula has content warnings at the start of each day, it's nice.
Finally, if you'd rather have the entire book in your hands to follow along, you can grab the print version or you can download the free ebook from the Project Gutenberg website, since Bram Stoker's Dracula is public domain.
🔗gutenberg.org/ebooks/345
That's all I can think about for now. Feel free to share more resources if you have them! 😊

🚨 🇮🇳 #India banning #OpenSource #Matrix clients like #Element is equivalent to banning your favorite web browser or email client.
🤯 Can you imagine if Firefox, Chrome, or Thunderbird were banned nationally?
🔑 Privacy is a human right.
➡️ And governments will never stop human rights abuses by denying its citizens' human rights.
Pass it on.

Well, after finding out that #WhaleBird
github.com/h3poteto/whalebird-…is a decent enough accessible MacOS client for use with #Misskey, you'll see me post on here from time to time now as well! Most of the time I'll still be posting on my Mastodon account, though watch this space! Three-Thousand characters is more than i ever would need myself, but I'll take it!
For users of #VoiceOver, the 'J' & 'k' keys currently do not speak under the curssor what the post is, thus nornal VO commands for now are necessary. Definitely a client for #Blind users to check out though!
NB. As noted among the GitHub page, WhaleBird is also available for #Windows and #Linux, though I'll leave those builds to you guys!

At this time, with any Misskey instance I try, I get the following:
Error: Failed to fetch. Is this a valid Mastodon instance? Is a browser extension blocking the request? Are you in private browsing mode? If you believe this is a problem with your instance, please send this link to the administrator of your instance.
Ah, that's a pity. Maybe you could raise this as an issue over at github.com/NickColley/semaphor…
No guarantees that it'd be added, but it's worth a shot. imho
