Digital inclusion isn't just about compliance (like WCAG standards); it's about reaching your entire audience and providing equal access to information.

If you’re serious about digital accessibility, ditch the overlays and invest in real, sustainable solutions—like proper coding practices, WCAG compliance, and user testing with disabled individuals.

I applaud the concern about alt text. One of my best friends is blind, and I like to see her properly supported in her online experience.
But sometimes it works to ask people to edit posts to add alt text on images. Not everyone knows about alt text at all, and some people who try to include it forget sometimes, or don't realize they can edit it in after the fact. I try to always assume that this error, when it happens, is not an intentional slight, and so is a learning opportunity. And especially where good content would otherwise be lost, it seems worth the effort.
Mastodon has user preferences to make the absence of alt text show up visibly or to just filter out things that lack alt text ... BUT (strangely) it has no preference I can find that says "warn me if I'm posting something that would need such a flag". There should be such a preference and it should default to ON.
I consider it a major faux pas in design to beat someone up for something technologically when you could have just dissuaded or prevented the bad thing with an equal application of technology.

Great post about the "section" element and how to use it in an accessible way. Thanks, @stefan !

3946] Boah, was für eine Unsitte, (in diesem Fall: ausklappbare) Überschriften als Button zu machen, so dass man den Text nicht markieren kann.
Gibt es da Browser-Tools, um einfach an den Text ranzukommen?
(Seiten-Quelltext (falls es nicht eh dynamisch im DOM gelandet ist) und Webinspector sind beide nicht einfach genug.)
Looking to switch from #MicrosoftEdge to #Firefox as my main browser! Fellow #Firefox users, especially in the #BlindTech community - what are your must-have extensions
and about:config tweaks for optimal performance?
I'm particularly interested in solutions for:
• Managing multiple tabs efficiently
• Keeping browser speed up while running #WebGames
• #Accessibility features and extensions
Previous Firefox versions got sluggish for me, but I'm ready to give it another try! Share your tips!

I'm considering writing a #Blog post about how #Technology can be more #Accessible and #Inclusive for people with #Disabilities and #ChronicIllness. One example that comes to mind is the need for more personalized customization in health tracking features on #Wearables like the #AppleWatch.
For me, the exercise and stand goals aren’t realistic due to my health limitations. On bad days, the constant reminders to move can feel discouraging rather than motivating. While there’s the option to turn notifications off entirely, I still want to track my movement or standing progress in a more flexible way. It would make a huge difference if the activity rings and goals could be fully customizable to accommodate individual abilities and needs.
To my fellow #Disabled and #ChronicPain warriors: What other areas do you think tech could be more inclusive? Whether it’s device features, apps, or software design, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Would you also be okay with me including your name or username and a quote from you in the blog post? I want to uplift your voices as part of the conversation.
Although this post is meant to elevate disabled voices, developers, designers, and usability experts are welcome to join the discussion and learn how to create more inclusive tech.
Let’s brainstorm ways to make tech work better for everyone! 
Thank you in advance for sharing your insights!

Happy to have my work in the Accessibility Chapter of the HTTP Archive's Web Almanac featured in StateScoop.

I belive that this is the first government-wide scan of USA states for web accessibility. The report averages over 34,000 state government web pages to create a meaningful snapshot of how inclusive government sites are.

#Accessibility experts and enthusiasts! I'm seeking advice on improving the accessibility of my church's website, refreshinghope.org. As a blind user and aspiring accessibility consultant, I've identified several issues, but I'd love additional insights.
Key issues:
• Many unlabeled links and buttons
• Incorrect ARIA states for tabs (expanded/collapsed mismatch)
• All headings set to level 5, hindering smooth navigation
The pastor is considering a separate text-only version, but I'm advocating for enhancing the main site's accessibility instead. Looking for specific suggestions and best practices to address these and other potential issues.
If you have experience with #WebAccessibility or #InclusiveDesign, I'd greatly appreciate your input. Let's make the web more accessible for everyone! #a11y #DigitalInclusion #blind
Accessibility folk, help! This is not a new question/problem but the internet is giving me conflicting info.
Imagine I have a todo list app, a page of cards with a <h1>. New items are created in a dialog. How do I correctly mark up the dialog's heading?
I've currently got a span with role="heading" and no level. Is that OK?
(I want to help people rather than satisfy auditing tools)
