[tantek] Interesting challenge with use of display names to communicate alternate addresses: https://twitter.com/lifeofablindgrl/status/1595864647554502656
#
@lifeofablindgrl Can everyone please stop adding their Mastodon usernames to their Twitter names? It’s really frustrating for screen reader users. Hearing them being read out loud when scrolling down my timeline isn’t fun. Add it to your bio or make a pinned tweet instead. (twitter.com/_/status/1595864647554502656)

IWDiscordRelay <k​aeldra#8403> @chrisaldrich rerun is a great name for that -- and I want that tool! Even for active blogs if I missed the first five years 😉

#
[0x3b0b] ...meant to put that in -chat
#
[snarfed] ^ actually maybe encouraging, since our API usage mostly isn't "third party clients"
#
[KevinMarks] Well, noterlive kinda is, though that needs rehousing from Heroku

[0x3b0b] <[tantek]> "Interesting challenge with use..." <- Yeah, I had put mine there based on the fact that I would never have looked at anyone's profile to find one. I'll probably move it now. I wonder how a screen reader pronounces 㬋. I should probably find out.

[aciccarello] I put mine in my bio assuming that people would mostly discover it via migration tools

Loqi Twitter’s domain name registration was going to expire soon: 2023-01-21T16:28:17Z — has it been renewed?
#
Loqi Countdown set by [tantek] on 2022-12-09 at 3:33pm PST
#
[tantek] good question
#
to2ds That domain might not be worth much now 😄
#
[tantek] eh it's worth plenty. lots of links to it and cross-site embeddings of executable js from it
#
to2ds True.
