I saw something I thought was important to read, but it was posted on Twitter/X. Which is literally impossible to even look at on my phone without installing its app. I wish people who like to post these links understood why this is a problem. #accessibility

@feorlen This means a lot. Former twitter platform has a very clear policy on which target it's addressed to. People with disability are not welcome.
As soon as Musket acquired it, he fired the accessibility team. And the first thing I did was permanently delete the profile. I think that every person caring for social causes should escape from there; I know, Jesus went to sinners, not to "pure" folks. But you can not pursue any cause if you're invaded by rubbish. -

The previous web UI was always meh for me, only usable on desktop as well. But there was an entire ecosystem of 3rd party apps. That is the only way I could use it on my phone.
Now for mobile it’s the official apps or unusable for me web in a browser. I don’t trust most mobile apps and particularly those for services where I’m the free content/data creator and not the customer.

@talksina I used to be an early adopter of social media services, ones many today have forgotten or never heard of. Being in tech can be like that. Not only did many friends rush to try them, many also worked for those companies.
Which maybe explains why now I only publish my updates here. From a small instance of people who met on a previous social media service that tried to be different but couldn’t survive in a world of big, shiny, and “free”

@feorlen Twitter had those 3rd party apps working good. We didn't even care about the web interface. And this is the main disadvantage of having a system which is open to 3rd party clients. It lets you neglect the effort of reporting bugs in the center of the echosystem: web interface.
