As "#accessible" drag and drop (with accessible in quotes as I haven't personally verified the claims) is added to #React Aria and React Spectrum, I'm happy to see drag-and-drop get some #accessibility love at the framework level. However, I'm not convinced that aiming for parity always creates the most efficient, usable experiences in this area.

For many use cases, there are alternative approaches legitimately better suited to how people actually operate their devices, across various assistive technologies and input methods. For instance, dropdowns with type-ahead, offering more of an opportunity to browse before committing, rather than constantly navigating back and forth across drop zones which could be far apart.

The article highlights challenges in finding a preexisting holistic system, without delving into the possible reasons for that being the case until now. User feedback is also not a panacea; are you asking someone to evaluate whether they can use a thing? Or whether that thing is a good idea, and/or if a better thing could theoretically exist?

It looks like a lot of organizations are going to need to update their #SocialMedia icons, so I decided to put up a few which include #mastodon.

My goal is to produce #SVG images that respect dark mode, can be easily styled with CSS, and also allow either circle, square or no background.

I want to embed best practices of accessibility, and web sustainability in this.

So what can I do to improve these?

Search Engine Land (guest/paying author) is pretty clear that you should not use accessibility overlays (such as #accessiBe, #UserWay, #AudioEye, etc):

“Are you using an accessibility overlay to help disabled users? Don’t!”

Are you using an accessibility overlay to help disabled users? Don’t!

Accessibility overlays are not the answer for sites looking to provide a more inclusive experience for online users with disabilities.

If you are interested in improving the #accessibility of Mastodon, take a look at the issue queue github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…+

If there are issues you've found that aren't there, are they part of the instance of Mastodon that you are using, or part of the core open source project? Custom themes can get in the way.

Posting #a11y bugs is important in moving ahead any open source project.

During Global Accessibility Awareness Week this year, I was invited to give a talk for Eidos Montreal / Square Enix West, all about how disabilities often intersect, and needs can overlap in unexpected ways Devs need to consider.

Good news for the @Mastodon #iOS app‘s #VoiceOver support. @jedfox has been on a roll these last few days and has added some really awesome #accessibility related pull requests to the public repository. Hope they all get merged soon and new TestFlight builds be made available so we can test them out before release. Among the fixes is the compose button, custom actions, better labels in the compose screen, and more.

Hope @Gargron or @zeitschlag can approve and merge them soon. #a11y

Because there's no obvious onboarding nor page dedicated to accessibility features, notice that this is how you put alt text into images on Mastodon. I'm not sure what the upper limit is on characters per img. Use the "Edit" in the upper right-hand side of an uploaded image in a draft toot to access this area. #a11y #SciComm
Screenshot of the "Edit Media" window that opens up when you click on the "Edit" area of an image in a draft toot. It shows "Click or drag on the circle on the preview to choose the focal point which will always be in view on all thumbnails. Describe from the visually impaired" A link says "Detect text from picture" and a button says "Apply".

@marcozehe some folks on Twitter are complaining that mastodon is not accessible. I know it ain’t perfect, but can you recommend the best mastodon apps for a screen reader user on mobile as well as desktop? And I can pass it on. #a11y
