@renard_roux @foss Do you know if it can output in Shun mamuscript format with a plugin?
@rkw_social @MacroCyclo I think so as well, yes. LibreOffice is the most maintained FOS solution to Microsoft Word. Microsoft has a billion times better accessibility support, but then again, big tech is always lightyears ahead of accessibility support, sadly! Still, I hope that tide is shifting.
@Jaluvshuskies No, it’s an alternative front end. Technically speaking, Mastodon/Hometown/Glitch are the Twitter of the Fediverse. I am on Hometown.
@hendrik @Blackbeard Keep an eye on the RBlind folks because they are working on patches to solve this problem but yes, the community of developers could/should step in to make it work. There’s also KBin https://rblind.com/
@ApathyTree @SilentStorms Couldn’t agree more! Ironically, this is what we tried to do before the TwitterMigration, over here on the Mastodon part https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/

@omarciddo It’s especially ironic because these very Disabled people would be the biggest champions of FOSS if FOSS software was designed to be accessible from the ground up, or at least more development tools made it easier to do these things but the very people that could benefit the most from FOSS are completely shunned/left to fend for themselves constantly, while still unable to use your FOSS software at all, and then people wonder why big tech continues to capture that market. @foss
@Skooshjones @privsecfoss @foss Also, another reason why big tech catches on, every time, is not so much that the UX is glossy but that Zoom, Apple, etc, all know that #Accessibility is needed to, 1, be dominant. As people look for stuff and tools that are accessible to Disabled users, Apple and Zoom come up a lot because they knew that capturing accessible design was a great way to capture a huge portion of users and otherwise. 2. Accessible design works for everybody. Seriously, having a far cleaner UI is better for everybody, including developers when they need to change code later.
@Big_Lanids @foss Is there a hosted version somewhere?
@Charcoal8645 @edgerunnergit Basically, the Fediverse is a universe of tech designed to talk and interact with each other. For example, I can interact with you even though I don’t have a Lemmy account, and it works the other way too. ActivityPub connects all of us. I’m also sure interopability will strengthen as these services grow. It isn’t just Mastodon focus migrations happening and this is really great!
