I’ve written an open letter asking organisations that engage online with the blind community to come to Mastodon in light of the significant #accessibility regressions at Twitter.
If you agree, please sign it and share it as widely as you can. This is one occasion where if we can show how many of us care about this issue, it will make it clear that it’s worth companies putting in the effort to be here.
I would also be very grateful for the support of our sighted friends.
Thank you.

I have never used twitter, what were these regressions?
@JonathanMosen , I want blind people to enjoy/hate social media just as much as the temporarily sighted. So add alt-text to your images! It may be a challenge to your description abilities, but it is entirely welcome by the people that can't just see it. A mediocre description is far better than nothing, and as you practice, you'll get better.
@JonathanMosen I'm here to give support! Added my name.
