An accessibility overlay vendor (#AudioEye) is suing @aardrian, an accessibility specialist, in the United States of America.

I've already shared this story before. The news is that his attorney has filed a motion to dismiss under New York’s anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) law (what doesn't really exist in France).

Quick reminder that AudioEye is a member of the IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals)… If this makes you feel bad, it's normal.

Hello everyone! This is the very first open test of my blind accessible game engine called Unseen RPG Engine, a niche game engine that allows anyone to easily make turn based RPGs, at least that's the goal! This is very early and the purpose of this is to try and start getting the critical feedback I'll need to make this accessible, usable, and fun. Learn more about it, join the discord community, and download it here! ericbomb.itch.io/the-unseen-rp…

Hi everyone! Can anyone who depends on a screen reader read this for me and tell me if it works? I'm making a tutorial on how to make a Roguelike for my blind accessible game engine, so just wanna make sure it's in a good format! It will have informational and instructional content split up to hopefully make it easier for screen readers to find what is needed. Download .txt sample file here!

Hello! I would like to invite everyone to join the #Accessible #Apple community on Discord. This server is dedicated to current and future #blind and/or #VisuallyImpaired users of #iPhone, #Mac, #Apple Watch and other #Apple products who would like to get the most out of their devices. If that's something you are interested in, give us a shot!!

Now to some FAQ that I guess will be asked over and over.
Q: There's only one administrator and that's you.
A: Yeah, but there's no point as there's literally noone else there, yet.
Q: Where are the rules?
A: They are not existent yet. Just please be a human.
Q: What's the point if there's AppleVis?
A: AppleVis was, and still is a great resource if it comes to stuff like APp directories, curated list of resources, podcasts ETC, however the forum features are suboptimal, especially for mobile usage. I have spoken to many people who are newcomers to the #Apple ecosystem and using the AppleVis website turned out to be harder than using their shiny new device itself.

Please keep in mind that the server is in a test stage, many things can happen, including channel deletions/additions, moderation appointments or server deletion in case there's no real interest. If you have any suggestions how could I improve it or if you would like to help me moderate, please reach out.
I kindly ask everyone to boost it to gauge interest. #accessibility #a11y #blind
