If anyone wants to volunteer for @vulpinelabs let me know are we need those who want to design for accessibility and furgonomics (furry ergonomics) for a gene editing system as our main contributer doesn't understand it's importance even in pre-alpha

Hello Fediverse!

I'm wanting (once again) to work on migrating my archive for a long horror interactive-ish story (basically, story with parts for audience to vote at times) away from a giant series of google docs and to an actual website.

Problem being: a major use of font tricks to visually express things, like tiny subscript text for "that little voice in the back of your mind that says awful things", zalgo text for kind of a supernatural corruption, or even just weird keyboard smashes for more along the line of a software glitch.

Does anyone have a good solution for making something like this screenreader-friendly, or should I just mention upfront that there are some aspects that are just unfriendly due to formatting? Judicious use of aria-hidden and/or CSS to make a sort of alt-text for those segments? #a11y #screenreaderfriendly #helpwith

@weirdwriter That's why most of the visually impaired people I know prefer to use old gopher or its modern implementation called gemini. Just pure text, no junk, no crap, no emojis which can literally kill the screen reader applications, no idiotic made social media components on the pages etc.
