These aren't "nice-to-haves" — they're the missing pieces.

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.
Let’s make Bluesky usable, not just compliant. #A11y

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.

And, let's talk *before* I show up to one of your events and struggle to find my way around or participate because nobody on your end is prepared to accommodate the blind. 💜

I'm no web developer — and yet I spent 18 hours teaching myself enough javascript to make a proof of concept implementation.
The ask is literally not difficult. Blue sky has the resources.

Why are the blind still left in the dark after 2+ years?

Please help draw attention to this inequity.

One real way we can start to resolve this is to make Blue Sky *actually* accessible to the blind — who have by and large been abandoned by the left and still exist on twitter due to accessibility there and none here.

Hey y'all — let's talk accessibility for the blind. I want to be involved — and more importantly want to ensure the way is paved for other blind folks.

Thanks to bluesky's inherent inaccessibility for the blind — communication and outreach is a place to start.

"Wow Katie you're so cool and that's so amazing that you made an accessible bluesky client for yourself. How inspiring!"
There — I said it for you so you don't have to be an ableist cunt.
