Thrust Your Opinion On Me! No really. It's fine.
I’m almost sorry when new tech features come out now. They always seem to promote the new wave of people with a “truly unique” opinion they just have to thrust upon you without geeting your concent to become aware of said opinion. I liked the world better when things like religion, politics and personal choices were matters of the heart and not a branding avenue.

I completely agree with this. lots of sites are “accessible”, but confusing as hell.
When we are talking to technology companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon and others we need to move their focus away from "compliance" and talk about "usability". It isn't enough to be "compliant". Often this doesn't mean anything in the scheme of things. The true test is how usable is the technology we are buying and using in the market. Let's turn up the heat and hold these companies to account to ensure that not only are things accessible but they are truly usable.
One feature micro.blog has that other social networks don’t have or don’t do as well: AI generates alt text for images. they artistic descriptions, but at least I know what I’m looking at.
