Of course, all of that is pretty silly compared to what Twitter looks like.

The tweet itself halfway down the page, buried in a mess of random, unused junk.

The about page isn't bad, but there's no headings or anything (other than the instance title, which is a h2 instead of h1 for some reason)

For the most part, it isn't terrible.

(Yes, *we* know what it means, because we can see the retweet icon and star icon; a screen reader doesn't have that advantage.)

Frustratingly, the column headings aren't columns, and there's no easy way to jump to them. That mess of links at the top doesn't actually navigate to the relevant part of the page, it just tries to load it.

Anyway, one fairly simple fix to this is a "screen reader" CSS class for "invisible" text. As an added bonus, it also makes copy-pasting keep some context.

First image: Added text in screen-reader class
Second image: Added CSS rules to clip the span to a 1x1 pixel
Third image: results of copy-pasting the text

Removing them from a single post's page reveals there's no real meaning behind most of the data. What does "0 - 1" mean?

Removing all styles from Mastodon reveals that the emoji button is absolutely gigantic. Yay SVGs.

Coucou les mastonautes !

J'ai besoin de votre aide! Je viens de télécharger une super appli pour les podcast, qui ne demande qu'à être remplie!
Quels sont donc vos podcasts préférés? Lesquels voulez-vous me faire découvrir ?
Tous les sujets sont susceptibles de m'intéresser tant que c'est en français et pas trop technique.

Merci de votre aide (le repouet en est déjà une 😉)

Late for #LibreMonday again, but:
The #Tox project!
They aim to provide a secure peer-to-peer (for non techies, that means your stuff does not go through someone else's server) real time text, voice and video chat. They also have several clients.
Pictured: qtox UI, the client I use. The project and its clients are still experimental/alpha/beta software, so there are bugs, but it's already a useful piece of tech.

I know that maintaining the infrastructure for something like YouTube has to be ridiculously expensive, but we need a community run, open source, distributed solution like mastodon, but for Media sharing and distribution.

What like that is out there?
