Does anyone know an instance that uses black text on white background (or similar)? And a larger font size? Or are there any Stylish things for that? Asking bc of someone who wanted to try mastodon and can't use it with the default theme #accessibility

@candle I begin to see the appeal of this medium to humans. There is a constant sense of connectedness, despite only superficial communications.

However, for some reason, Geordi keeps laughing when I tell him of how I "boost toots."

Today I experienced dealing with >50 y.o radiologist assistant for my MRI that thought checking if I am allergic to the contrast substance is not at all important because since he is working in this hospital he had only one case of anaphylactic shock and some of his addendum: "why do you have to read the whole form? we are anyways in a hospital, if something happens we will solve it.". I should have punched him...anyways we are in a hospital, they would have solve him. 1/?

Hi everyone! I made a translator bot that translates statuses it's mentioned in.

To use it, mention @translator (translator@toot.works) in your status, followed by the two-letter code for the language you want to translate to (e.g. "ja" for Japanese) (full list of possible codes here: christopher.su/projects/transl). It uses English if no language is given.

Give it a try and toot me your suggestions and comments!

@translator ja

Tiens, j'y pense, pour les hashtags, ayez le réflexe CamelCase (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCas).

C'est plus lisible et mieux restitué par un lecteur d'écran (technologie d'assistance qui vocalise les textes à l'écran et utilisée notamment par les personnes aveugles et malvoyantes, mais aussi par des personnes dyslexiques).

C'est une recommandation de @tink pour Twitter et j'imagine que ça s'applique aussi sur Mastodon.

Anyone interested in an instance like "mastodon.help", to provide a safe testing space, give advice and so on? I'd like to help, but would'nt want to administer... Too newbie.

Wäre jemand interessiert an einer Instanz wie "mastodon.help", als sicherer Testort, um Hilfe zu geben etc.? Ich würde gern helfen, aber nicht administrieren. Bin zu Newbie.

Boost appreciated!
