Have you ever actually looked at their website? You need to use a 3rd-party service like nitter to make twitter accessible.
It really feels like people have never used twitter and are reading the news and go "aha! they've canned the accessibility team! they're trying to exclude the blind!"
- extra88 4y agoMaybe that was once true but it hasn't been. Here's a deafblind user of Twitter (the iPhone app) who had immediate trouble using the main Mastodon app [0]. Twitter only formed an accessibility team in 2020. Accessibility improvements had been made over the years before then but since the team was formed, improvements have been arriving much more steadily. Since Musk didn't only fire this team but half the staff overall, Twitter has not only lost expertise but people with the time to devote to these areas.
