Those of you using cutesy font/display settings in your usernames — cursive, flipped, reversed order, or rotated/upside-down letters — please understand that this is aggressively hostile to users of screen reader software, which will announce each character in exhaustive, technical detail. Please don’t do this. It becomes a massive roadblock in their timelines. If failing to use alt tags on images is passively bad, this is actively bad. #accessibility #Mastodon
