I'm posting about it, with helpful info, *every day* until the accessibility experience for people like me improves.
There's been an open github issue for over a year and a half. It's a simple change. No excuses. Hope this helps.

Bluesky is “screen reader accessible” the way a staircase with curb cuts on each step is a “wheelchair ramp.”
No keyboard nav. No useful landmarks. No focus memory. I lose my place every time I interact with a post.
Compliance ≠ usability.
Day 23 asking @support.bsky.team to fix this #A11yFail

What would help?
– Keyboard shortcuts (j/k) to jump between posts
– Landmarks or headings for screen reader nav
– Restore focus or scroll position after interaction
Reddit had it. Twitter *STILL* has it. This is basic UX for screen reader users.

Yes, Bluesky has alt text. But alt text isn’t the full picture (pun intended). It’s meaningless if I can’t even reach the post.
Adding alt text to an inaccessible site is like advertising hearing aids on the radio — you’re leaving out a majority of the people who need it the most.
