The official Mastodon UI is almost there in that aspect, but the speech feedback you get when navigating with its keyboard shortcuts has many shortcomings (see github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…). Maybe this is the right time for this to get more love in either Mastodon or at least one of the forks like hometown, though that won't help anyone using something like Pleroma or its forks. #noxp
