   Decided to sign up for #Codeberg, the #GitHub alternative that the Fediverse at large is insisting is worth a try and, in some cases, claiming will improve project contributions by avoiding some of the GH antipatterns. I expected to find some #accessibility issues; this is the modern web, after all.

   I did not expect a fully inaccessible visual CAPTCHA with no workarounds. I'm unable to solve it, so I cannot create an account.

   In short: If you want people who are #blind or #lowVision to contribute to your projects (you do, right?), Codeberg is currently not an #accessible platform.

   Post 1/3 @pluralistic Not much movement on the mastodon display/hide thread issues linked further in the thread.

   But here is a proposal: create a second mastodon account where you post the thread.

   Then boost the head of the thread with your main account.

   In that case your followers will get just the head of the thread in their feeds.

   Mastodon thread issues linked to for reference below

   @simendsjo That’s fine, there are personal choices to make everyday and a number of criteria to take into account.

   In the end, as users of Guix and other distros, we all benefit from the work done around bootstrapping, reproducible builds, or simply writing useful free software. I’m happy to support all those who make significant strides in these areas, and this one is no small feat!

   @aral @kiwix @lenzgr When it's fedi, the issue is usually the anti-porn rule in their TOS.

   In some cases, it's in good faith. For example, with the tenforward.social, they cited a lot of hardcore porn posted/boosted by the admin, on the admin's main account.

   In other cases, it seems like they don't really pay attention and are vulnerable to fake reports. For example, a series of small transfem instances were taken down over an anime picture of two clothed girls kissing.

   I no longer feel comfortable boosting posts from pure meme accounts unless they’re exceptionally well known or have authenticated themselves somehow, e.g. with a two-way link to the memer’s personal account.

   In this day and age it’s just too easy fully automate this type of account as a bad actor with the intention of posting misinformation somewhere down the line, once the account looks legit enough.

   If you have a website hosted on Hetzner, take it off from their servers immediately. This morning I woke up with my instance down and this message in my mailbox:

   "Dear Ms...

   We have noticed irregularities on your account, so we unfortunately cannot have a contract with you at the present time. We have therefore had to close your account.

   In general, if customers give us incomplete or incorrect information, we have to close their accounts.

   We cannot provide any information on individual cases. Thank you for your understanding.

   Kind regards"

   Without giving any warning or reason, they deleted my account with everything inside (Thankfully we have back ups every 12 hours). I couldn't even log into their site to open a ticket. They deleted my entire instance.
