I am unfollowing @[email protected]. No matter my disagreements with GNOME folks in the past, COSMIC and GNOME are going to end up with the same accessibility backend, @accesskit, developed by the amazing @matt. Thanks to funding gathered by @gnome from @sovtechfund, rapid advances are being made in Wayland-compatible accessibility features. Let's stop rage baiting each other and instead work on building a better free software world for everyone.

@soller What is the context here? What did this guy do?

@thestrangelet @lucasmz It doesn't feel genuine when someone targets others who are supposedly on your side, calling them things like "ableist" for not having finished their work. It reminds me of having been called a racist by Lunduke for supporting DEI...

@soller @thestrangelet @lucasmz Do you know how long Wayland has been default on Fedora? I just looked it up. Since Fedora 25. For eight years. I hadn’t even realised. EIGHT YEARS, Fedora has been shipping GNOME with a broken screen reader!
And hundred-million-dollar corporations like IBM & Canonical ship operating systems today based on GNOME with a broken screen readers.
Why do I say “ableist?” Because this can only happen in an ableist culture.

@aral People who feel like they're being told they're bad people with bad intentions are going to be less inclined to do what other people want.
It doesn't matter if you're right; if the people who you're trying to convince think you're a jerk, the people who you're trying to convince won't want to help. I've had to learn that lesson a lot of times.
You can't control other people, you can only control yourself, and how you treat others.
