   @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.

   @jawarajabbi @Gargron Yeah that is concerning, we at @pixelfed are working on Comment Controls, and I know that is something Mastodon is working on too.

   As developers, we can't ignore threats like these, and while I understand some projects may not have the resources to implement this as fast as the community would like, it's crucial to understand the constraints in the protocol that can prevent implementations like this, unless all software is on board.

   I'm organizing a task force!

   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”.

   @datarama My advice about figuring out one’s own boundaries and setting them from the start applies to these jobs, too.

   As a teacher, I want to say to anyone struggling with the pressure to give every drop of blood you have for your students / patients / people you’re caring for:

   It is not your job to personally prop up failing systems. You are not obliged to do that. It’s not all on you.

   Do what you can while staying healthy. Don’t let the system off the hook by doing more than that.
