@matt @zersiax I'm on both sides here: I care about accessibility, and I reject mainstream social media for reasons of ethics. I would use it, if necessary, for professional purposes to reach audiences on behalf of an organization, but it isn't what I want to use for personal purposes. It's also true that incivility unfortunately thrives in the Fediverse as it did on Usenet and as it does in mainstream social media (although the recommender systems of the latter reputedly amplify it). My only advice is to block people who participate in such conduct and to be careful whom you follow here.
