It's #IDPwD 2022! That's the International Day of Persons with Disability. The theme this year is ‘Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world’.
Here's a couple of practical things you can do today: - Use alt text in your images - Politely inform others of the importance of alt text - Test your content with a screen reader (we recommend the free NVDA!)
📣 On International Day of People with Disabilities, we strengthen our community's resolve to be inclusive for all, and add the following item to our Code of Conduct under behaviors not allowed:
➡️ "Uploading images, audio, or video with Public visibility (appears on Local or Federated timelines) without adding ALT text media descriptions"
⚠️ Effective 1 January, such items may be removed, limited, or other actions taken. We will continue to highlight them as a reminder.
