mastodon is a threat. they wanna see us disappear and they will keep pulling bullshit as long as we still exist
hey to all software devs out there
names should be handled as:
a free text unicode field with a generous max length and no validation.
do not require (last) names without good reason
if possible, make the purpose of the field clear when filling it in, i.e. put an example email or whatever you are actually using it for next to it.
and also, make it clear if legal names are required. make life a little easier for trans people in the process.
feel free to add to this thread.
@BryanBennett it's because they're bots. It's only if you keep pressing, that's when you get to talk to a human.
Hashtags can be difficult for blind people's screen readers, because the reading software may have trouble telling the words apart in the tag.
✅ You can make hashtags screen reader friendly by using "CamelCase", where each word in the tag begins with a capital letter.
For example, #DogsOfMastodon is fine but #dogsofmastodon may cause problems.
