  • the remaining content is clearly appropriate enough to stand.

    Or it hasn't been tested? I.e. no mod has looked at it. Just because something remains up doesn't mean it is OK.

  • So, the thumbnail still just says "expand here", which I'm not sure about. (Of course, I'm not blind. I'll have to read up on things)

  • Right now is simply says "Show [...] clickable", so it's like this:

    for sensitive content that falls under Hexbear's Code of Conduct. You can find the spoiler tag here:Show [...] clickable.After clicking it, just substitute the second "spoiler" with your content warning and the three underscores ( ___ ) with your sensitive content, and you're all done.

    And while we can't do anything about it saying Show, we should include something like "an arrow pointing to the spoiler button" ("spoiler button" is what it narrates when I highlight the button)

    The "nothing things down" is for myself, I'm talking about the small comment icon on the front page, so don't worry about it. If it's something users can do better I'll point it out like I did with the image alt.

  • I started using orca, the screen reader, to test how things are for blind people, and I think there are improvements that can be made on hexbear, both on technical level, but also on a user level. Can we try to add an alt to the image in the mega body.

    Noting down things:

    • On posts, the comment icon/svg says the post id for some reason?
    • The context links both say "Show context".
    • Profile pictures just say "image".
    • The expand post button is just "button".
    • The share button (three connected dots) is just "button".
    • The moderation history buttons in the more dropdown is under the same

      <li>

      , so the screen reader can say there are 4 items, when there is (in practice) 5. But also, the

      <hr>

      is in it's own

      <li>

      so there can be sometimes correctly (but for the wrong reason) 6 items.
    • It says the •. But not the pen so it's not clear when a post is edited.
    • Thumbnails just say "expand here"

    Testing area:

    Yeah... it of course says "show"
