The Fediverse has a lot of blind or partially sighted members who use screen readers to listen to posts. Large groups of emoji make life difficult because the reader reads aloud each emoji's text description back to back.

✅ You can make your posts more accessible to blind users' screen readers by only using individual emoji, and avoiding large groups of emoji.

For example 😃 is fine but 😀 😆 😁 👍 😃 😜 🤗 causes problems.

Really would help if Democrats win both Georgia Senate races.  Otherwise, McTurtle will sit and look grumpy as he watches America burn. Then he'll blame Biden to try and win more seats in 2022.

[CONTENT FROM @EYnews] In an increasingly fragmented world, companies used to operating on a global scale could find themselves restricted to local or state-level operations. https://bit.ly/34ySC6W https://twitter.com/techreview/status/1341032162829713409 #Tech #MIT

Algorithms now decide your credit score, which patients receive medical care, and which families get access to stable housing. This hidden web of automated systems can trap people in poverty. Fortunately, a growing group of lawyers are fighting back. https://bit.ly/2WpLXYa https://twitter.com/techreview/status/1341017051398352898 #Tech #MIT

I am looking to commission someone to draw for me an artwork for an open source project of mine.

“A female colleague and [I] had dared to discuss wage transparency and gender pay gap in the office … Unfortunately we miscalculated – our boss Matthias was beyond furious. After that office meeting, he told my colleague ‘there will be consequences.’ … I want to expose the hypocrisy and double standards in FSFE leadership. How the organisation ‘promoting’ transparency, equality and inclusivity treats employees and more specifically women.”

More CO2 in the atmosphere hurts key plants and crops more than it helps

The familiar adage - too much of a good thing is a bad thing - applies to atmospheric #CarbonDioxide: In higher concentrations, it is a damaging pollutant. The myth that #CO2 is plant food and that “extra” CO2 therefore can’t be bad is an example of a logical fallacy. It sort of sounds right, but it’s a major oversimplification.
