Hey comrades just some food for thought:
Previous megathreads have had the date structure of Nov 12 to Nov. 19 or similar, where as we now have what may look spiffy, it is read by a text to speech generator as ten twenty eight to onehundred and thirteen.
so while its not only in a date format that's backwards to people outside usa, its also potentially real confusing for people with limited vision
i think for archival purposes as well, itd be good to standardise this, the previous Month, XXth was a good compromise (I'd also favour including the year)
I guess this impacts the date structure in the above comment too.
probably a discussion to be had on the matrix, for people who are more actively doing the work
i'll add some stuff to the automated message, thank you!
Love your work :)
aw, i appreciate it
Probably a good idea for the future, and you make a very good point about adding the year for archival purposes. Even if not standardized, I'll make sure to add the year on my next mega
I've spent a lot of time thinking about making my public online presence as accessible as I can lately, its an unhill battle
I guess the posts are dated, but its easier to search them with date tags :)
