We're building a world that's easy to use…if you're young, sighted, able-bodied and tech-savvy. But what happens when you're not? Digital Exclusion is real. And it’s growing. Kate Moore reports. #AccessibilityMatters

Stay young – the online world isn’t designed for the old

Technology should empower, not exclude. For many, ageing means lost independence in a digital online world built without them in mind

This picture shows how I react when you forget to add #AltText to your images. No picture attached? That’s the point. When there’s no alt text, sight impaired people get exactly what you’re seeing now: Nothing. #AccessibilityMatters #DontBeADickAltTextYourPic

We’re not always the experts—and while we’re consulting with them, we believe it’s vital to build with you. If you rely on accessible design or advocate for those who do, what do you wish more platforms got right? Share your thoughts below. 🦆❤️ #AccessibilityMatters #AccessibleCanada

My local grocery store rolling out the 'welcome' mat for anyone walking or wheeling to the store toay. Manager said "we'll move them eventually", totally missing the loud message this sends to anyone with accessibility needs that "you don't matter to us". #AccessibilityMatters #BikeHFX #CarBrain

Image shows a narrow sidewalk that leads to the entrance of a grocery store being obstructed by potted Christmas trees. There is a curb on the left which would not be navigable for anyone using a wheelchair. There are buildings in the backround and it has been raining.

Image is of a bike rack outside a grocery store that is obstructed on one side by Christmas trees for sale. This renders much of the bike rack unusable - the nearest rack to the store. There is a store front in the background.

ACCESSIBILITY TIP: In order for people who use screen readers to parse content, please... please use alt text for your images. Yes, it adds a little bit of work, but it is worth it. I see people that want to make this place great? Make it greater! Use alt text for your images. #AccessibilityMatters

The Settings screen in Bluesky that shows the options and the Accessibility settings are highlighted.

The Accessibility settings for Bluesky for images, the checkbox is checked for 'Require alt text before posting'.

Inklusion passiert nicht von selbst. Sie beginnt, wenn Menschen wie du bewusst handeln. Zum Beispiel mit jedem Alt-Text. #AccessibilityMatters #gemeinsamSindWirStark 💪

Happy Star Wars Day from your friendly accessibility advocate — still waiting on a lightsaber that slices through ableism. ✊✨ Even stormtroopers need good wheelchairs. May the 4th be with you. #MayThe4thBeWithYou #AccessibilityMatters #CripTheGalaxy

Two LEGO stormtroopers are shown — one sitting in a grey wheelchair and the other standing behind, pushing. The background is beige, and white text on the left side reads: “Happy Star Wars Day. May The 4th Be With You.”

Du erreichst mehr Menschen, wenn du mehr mitdenkst. Beschreib im AltText, was auf deinem Bild zu sehen ist. Für alle. #AccessibilityMatters #gemeinsamSindWirStark 💪

Out of all my feeds, it's #AcademicSky that seems to be failing at alt text the most. So. Dear academics, please use alt text. It's 2025. Accessibility should be a standard for us. #AccessibilityMatters #AltText #GoInclusiveOrGoBroke
