   @garrett points about the ways FOSDEM is surprisingly inaccessible to possibly 30 percent of the population is interesting too.

   As are the points about how FOSDEM has been disappointing on a number of fronts for years.

   @bumi @SUp3rN0va regarding the federated Twitter work, I interviewed a person who had worked there at the time, and it was a real thing, published here in Polish:

   As far as Dorsey killing it, that's coming from people I know and trust who are in a position to know about this. There are probably other sources online, too.

   As far as Jack's "decentralization" shtick, I mentioned this in my blog post about BlueSky's faux-decentralization:

   @freemo All good. Really. People get all this from paid services too.

   As for pure-practicalities of moving I would have moved this year if it wasn't for Mastodon not able to move posts and so believe me I thought about it and posted about it and waited for search to do more about it and that just made it that bit harder to find even what I was looking for....

   So not deliberate lock in but Mastodon's lack of real offline view and deleting account = deleting posts, does feel like a lock in for sure.

   Let's just see how it goes for now...

   The Fediverse suffers from fragmentation too.

   As I said, earlier, switching between Fedi instances is not without its risk. Much of it person between Fedi instances (usually drama related).

   It is also the software platforms too. Although they're all using Activity Pub (ActivityPub), some of the API's process and prioritize content differently.

   I can follow the same people on Mastodon and Misskey and end up with 2 different timelines.

   I feel dumb. Usually, these geek-shirt jokes are pretty obvious. I'm sure this one will be too.

   As soon as someone here explains it to me.

   I installed the #Landmarks add-on in #Firefox, and I was surprised #Mastodon doesn't have #a11y support. The only thing the default theme have is a generic “region”.

   * Using semantic #HTML5 elements correctly = #accessibility support. (Image alt text is but one small thing.)

   * Or, mark generic elements with #ARIA roles and labels.

   * Stop using #IconFonts too.

   As a11y has become a deeply personal thing for me (you won't understand its importance until you or a loved one needs it), I'm not only updating my own sites and practices, but I'm also checking existing platforms.

   Having proper support in #Fediverse software/platforms can be a strong feature the network can add to the front / “marketing”.
