We had a question from someone asking, what Mastodon client for Windows do people use which is accessible with NVDA. I thought here might be the perfect place to post that question? What do YOU use, or how do you access Mastodon on PC? Please let us know!

"If a document isn’t accessible, it’s unfinished.
If a video doesn’t have captions, it’s unfinished.
Finished content and documents are accessible. They reach more people. They give people choices. They win more fans."- Meryl Evans, CPACC (deaf)

As a front-end developer, there are some things that jumped out to me in the recent screen-reader survey. I'll share a couple of them, but keep in mind that I don't typically use a screen reader myself. You can take a look at the results yourself at:

I wrote an article about how to make hastags accessible. Did some #ScreenReader testing with #JAWS, #NVDA, #VoiceOver and #Narrator, which was fun!
Pretty long one though, contains a bunch of tables for comparison. Enjoy the ride!

What am I missing?
Right, accessibility folks! Please could you all weigh in on this!
For good or bad, a common design practice is to make links (goes to a different page) look like buttons. Assuming the underlying code is correct (uses instead of ) so assistive technology announces it correctly, is it OK that the "link" is not underlined?
I'd be grateful for further reading links and/or shouty opinions! 😃
