NV Access is very pleased to introduce the OFFICIAL NVDA users email group. A community dedicated to helping people understand and use the NVDA screen reader in a friendly, safe and welcoming environment. Join at groups.google.com/a/nvaccess.o… or email nvda-users+subscribe@nvaccess.org

#NVDA #NVDAsr #Users #ScreenReader #Accessibility #Community #Welcome #Free

We would also like to #welcome all people joining us today! If you are switching over from #Twitter, #X, #Facebook, #Instagram: welcome into a truly federated social network.

While you've made the switch, consider also moving away from that other big corporation named #Google: a great alternative is #OpenStreetMap . There are many apps (such as @organicmaps or #osmand)

There are also a lot of maps about a specific topic. You can find a collection of them on mapcomplete.org

MapComplete - editable, thematic maps with OpenStreetMap

MapComplete is a platform to visualize OpenStreetMap on a specific topic and to easily contribute data back to it.

Let’s give a warm welcome to André, Davron, and Sudip - And just like that, Tuta officially has a team of 30! 🥳

An Incredible Day In Internet History

It started with the Twitter lockout. 10,000 new users an hour. Almost a quarter million migrated to Mastodon in one day. The servers struggled. Remarkably, admins all over the world built up capacity in real time. New users were patient. The system held.

It's running better now. There will be more hard days ahead, but people powered social media has arrived.
