"Dark mode" which is so popular on #Mastodon, is extremely difficult -- even painful -- for many people with astigmatism and other common vision issues. Just sayin'.
Far too many #websites and #applications are designed and implemented by 20- or 30-somethings with no #vision issues, or any sort of #accessibility issue. Elements you need to click with nearly pixel-precision when you have fine motor control problems or alternative input devices, #dark modes with spider-thin light grey text on a black background, designers picking #fonts that render 3mm high on a screen, on and on.
@cazabon @lauren unfortunately they do test it with actual users, just users exactly like them. The research they do and the personas they create do not often consider and include people with disabilities.
They need to be included both in the design and testing.
They can work with companies like Fable ( https://makeitfable.com ) who hire people with disabilities to do website and application testing
@cazabon @lauren that being said, I've seen much more support for #accessibility on Mastodon than almost all other social platforms, much of which comes from people who really care deeply and want to make the web (and maybe the world) a better place.
