Losing billions: Why are brands still not prioritising digital accessibility?
Inaccessible websites lose $6.9 billion a year to their accessible counterparts, yet digital inclusion remains under-addressed. We look at how brands can benefit from placing accessibility at the heart of their strategy.Matthew Keegan (Campaign Asia)

Going through the posts this morning, seeing lots of feature requests and questions about our priorities, I thought I would share what we are focused on and why we are making certain decisions.post.news
While many are praising him for his transparency, it reveals a major problem and hurdle with building accessible products. Not to mention the ableism in stating several times, the need to "let everyone in" while choosing not to make sure the application is accessible. Statements like "Our number one focus is letting in the 300K+ users on our waitlist" assume that none of those people have a disability and/or all use technology in the same way.

Here's post.news's founder Noam Bardin, declaring in the same breath "we are not focused on . . . accessibility" and "We want to do it all but first, let's get everyone in." In other words, "everyone" does not include people with disabilities. This kind of discrimination is not uncommon from tech companies, but it's a pretty unusual for a founder to state it this explicitly. #a11y must be an MVP expectation for digital startups.

Fascinating to think through #Mastodon & #Whiteness within this #TechPolicyPress #Podcast featuring @shengokai

I hand't thought of the RT as part of a call/response culture.
My main concern with the piece is that we cannot control whether or not Twitter implodes. Monopolies are inherently fragile & we know it is being run by a benevolent dictator.
Twitter had a good run. We have to adapt. That means building in better means to protect marginalized users. #a11y

Link Targets and 3.2.5
TL;DR: Regardless of what accessibility conformance level you target, do not arbitrarily open links in a new window or tab. If you are required to do so anyway, inform users in visible text.Adrian Roselli
