Show us by your actions, not just words! So far you've shown in your actions, both for those with #MobilityImpairments on Captchas and for #blind users a screenreader issue, that your platform is not at all about #DigitalIndependence or real change, unless you've got neither disability set nor anyone you communicate with does.

#DisabledPeople are the subset of the population most denied our independence and yet which is most easily helped by modern technology, so this slight on your part is a continuation of the larger problem set, not a legitimate change to the status quo.

@BrahmaBelarusian "convince your friends to join…" Nope, sorry not sorry. Not only will I never encourage anyone to join an inaccessible solution, but I'll always discourage anyone I can and tell everyone to avoid it at all costs. Also, there's EAA, the European Accessibility Act. I won't sue you of course, just don't have enough money, time and motivation.
P.S. Also cool, my account was marked as sending spam emails, although I've never used it basically and I've never given it to anyone, so now I can't even log in to show one or two most prominent accessibility issues. Just another argument to convince people to join, I believe 😂 #Accessibility

@menelion The continued bashing of #Protonmail which is a little better on the #ScreenReader issue but identical in the #Captcha problem doesn't exactly help their cause on this front.

At this point I won't really recommend #disabled users switch to either one of these still very different platforms myself, because of this needed improvement.

When I install apps on my phone, I don't use Google Playstore; I search for the apk file, download and install it. Fairly easy to do and it bypasses google entirely. I have a few browsers that I use; I don't use Chrome, I use ungoogled Chromium. I bought an Ungoogled android phone from Murena. I installed NetGuard that enables me to lockout an app from getting or sending info. I find it brings me a sense of control and personal power. The power is yours if you choose!
