In 2025, Elon's twitter is significantly more accessible to blind screen reader users than is @bsky.app
How utterly embarrassing for @support.bsky.team
Especially since it's not complex code that needs billions of dollars or anything. We're talking basic good UX here.

Hey @bluesky.app -- do you have any blind people on your UI team? Any disabled people at all even? Did anybody think to test it using a screen reader?

Look at this ridiculous deceptive UX pattern on #SoundCloud. The top image has the checkbox checked but the "confirm cancel" button is disabled. When you click on the checkbox, it then fills in white and the "confirm cancel" button is enabled.
