Well hot damn, my Steve scammer is back. Same first 2 messages, a third "You didn't reply to me, so I'm guessing you don't know me," followed by a pic and "Remember me?"

I'm going out on a tenuous limb here and suspecting that, no, I don't in fact know this person.

As an aside, any #blind folks know how to accessibly find a Matrix ID in @element? At the very least I want to find if this person is coming through a bridge, then shut that down if needed.

And this is why Element accessibility is important. When I review the interface, I see what look like a ton of noisy stale ARIA announcements hanging around at the bottom of the interface, making it very hard to do the "move to the bottom to find if new interface elements were added to the DOM" trick. It's not just an inconvenient annoyance. It makes defending against potential pig butchering and other scam attempts much harder. How can I feel confident on a network if I can't safely use its flagship client?

@Nolan Darilek I think using tab and shift+tab to navigate in the message content will allow you to focus the profile picture of that person and activate with the enter key. After this, switch your screen reader into browse mode, find heading level 2 saying profile and find the matrix handle a few lines below after the display name and the status. Also if you are back on linux, except of @Element there is another more light weight very accessible #GTK4 based matrix client called #fractal.

Found it, thanks!

Fractal seemed pretty simple when I used it last. In particular, it didn't seem to have support for spaces, which was rough since I'm in lots of rooms, many of them with similar names like "General". :) Did I miss something? I guess it'll work in a pinch, but I'd eventually like to use Matrix for voice and such so really wish a more full-featured client was accessible.

Either way, thanks for the tip.
