Hallo!
an individual acting in clear bad faith raised an issue on the mastodon codebase saying we should remove "gender politics" by getting rid of all usage of *innen.
There are a shocking (sarcasm) 23 uses of this prefix in the entire codebase and almost all of them appear on a small section of the Administration interface.
A more reasoned responder highlighted that *innen is an accessibility issue for those who use screenreaders.
None of the people writing on this issue use a screenreader and the original issue creator is the only one using the interface in German.
So, to anyone who uses DE and a Screenreader for Mastodon
do *innen words harm your browsing experience here (from an access perspective not a bigoted perspective)?
if so, do you have any workarounds you employ or any suggestions on improving this on Mastodon itself?
Danke!
