@ghost@anticapitalist.party @distelfliege@witches.town @distelfliege@witches.town This feels verymuch like "We have a ramp, this has made our building layout accessible" design in architecture; Where. regardless of intent, the design is orchestrated according to the assumptions (or over-simple questions to a limited group) of what disabled people experience, rather than disabled ppl being part of the process.
To truly fix these kinds of problems, devs will need to co-ordinate with blind people about features & issues in an ongoing dialogue.
@distelfliege@witches.town @ghost@anticapitalist.party I fear that without actively seeking out blind people to engage in the process, any discussion of blind accessibility on Mastodon/adjacent platforms becomes how to place Symbols of Accessibility that in-practice do not fix the problem (but may reassure us that it is fixed), rather than the actuality of making a space accessible.
