@calculsoberic Now I want a novel where every single one of these things is true, all at once.

If you're creating a project who's stated mission is to improve user freedom/privacy by doing something with the distributed web, and the first thing I find is a discord link, I'm not reading anymore. You obviously don't follow your own values. IRC or Matrix (if you *must*) or nothing. GTFO with using Discord for your distributed or privacy or freedom focused anything.

@emilis Nah. Mastodon culture is all about either blocking all servers that contain people we don't like, or boasting about how we don't block any servers at all and won't protect our users from spam and worse. Sarcasm, mostly.

@emilis To clarify for people reading the local timeline, that toot was just humour. I like our admin; they ban the idiots and keep the server up and respond quickly. And that's all I could ask for and all I want. There's not, like, some secret drama you're missing.

@mona Some of us need voice control. Or just, you know, access to devices like our own thermostat that hasn't been possible outside of smart devices. Thanks for the insulting and ignorant judgement, though. It's just what those of us who don't have other choices due to disability need.

@brandon Remember, the question they're asked right now is if they want advertisers to track them. When the question becomes "do you want free stuff or to pay for apps" I think the answer will change really quickly. Saying do not track has absolutely no consequences on IOS right now.

@stux Deleted a long and confused toot I wrote before realizing by "became the first mother in space" you didn't mean that she gave birth on the shuttle. Sleep deprivation is a heck of a thing. :-)

@io Sounds like Mastodon will be developing the online voting system for many country's elections! *sarcasm*

Looks like the audio captcha is broken on all #lemmy instances, at least in edge and chrome on Windows 10. #a11y

@storm This is the reason I don't host everything. I don't trust myself to maintain hardware and maintain backups in two different places. And also keep it all secure. I'll let experts do that.

@textfiles FYI OpenLibrary.org provides access to the accessible ebooks the IA hosts in a website that's accessible and easy to use with screen readers. Not enough blind folk know about it. And if you're an old time radio fan it's worth paying rusc.com the $8 a month to access their collection and not have to struggle with archive.org.

Wait are there like four or five different instances for #bronies? No wonder people find picking an instance confusing. Also, I'm waiting for someone to show up here who's just really into show jumping or dressage or something, and then wonder why Mastodon is so weird. #mlp

I wish there was some setting between "hide boosts" and "let people flood your timeline with nine hundred boosts in 30 seconds". I can always tell when someone I follow opens Mastodon for the first time today, because I get to see a flood of boosts from them. Maybe "only one boost every X minutes"? I hide boosts from so, so many people just because it's always hundreds of boosts in under an hour, then nothing for eight hours. And because they're catching up, most of the boosts are things I've already seen.

So https://rblind.com is a #Lemmy instance that now exists in alpha. We're still waiting on the next release of Lemmy with a bunch of promised #accessibility fixes, we still have to write sidebars and descriptions and rules and things, and I still need to work out the remaining infrastructure bits (realtime database backups, etc). But if you're blind, visually impaired, or otherwise interested in this community, and want to play with Lemmy to kick the tires, feel free to apply for an account. Please note that this is a project of its own, and doesn't mean the end of /r/blind on Reddit, and we're not asking or expecting anyone to migrate. We're just trying out new things, and this isn't ready for anyone but extremely early adopters. #a11y
