Web accessibility is inclusion. 🌍

1 in 4 adults in the U.S. lives with a disability. Accessibility ensures people can navigate, read, understand, and interact with websites — whether using a keyboard, screen reader, captions, or different devices.

For some, it’s the difference between being included… or locked out.

India just changed OTT forever.
Accessibility is no longer optional. 🎬♿

India’s Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has mandated that all new OTT content must include accessibility features like:
• Closed Captions (CC)
• Indian Sign Language (ISL)
• Audio Descriptions (AD)

Platforms now have 36 months to comply.
This is a big step toward making streaming work for everyone.

Accessibility shouldn't be an afterthought or a "nice to have." My realization was that if the my posting tool doesn't put Alt Text front and center, I will skip it. In Fediverse Composer Studio, it's step one. #AccessibilityMatters #UXDesign #Fediverse
