The internet is an opportunity to connect and share great things, but often it is used to spread hate, misinformation, or isn't as accessible as it could be.
We encourage creativity, kindness, inclusion and accessibility and help you avoid those who don't.

For those who make use of alt text here is a version that is accessible! #AltText #Alt4U

It would be nice if those trying to change things for the better didn't exclude people by making information inaccessible.

Images that are just text take 10 seconds to add alt text with a simple copy/paste.

Fixed this one as the original lacked alt text... Now everyone including blind or partially sighted folks ere welcome here.

#AltText #Alt4U

Alt text should be on every image posted. Especially ones that claim to welcome and include everyone. Info here: bsky.app/profile/cast...

We love finding starter packs like this!

A great way to find interesting people on Bluesky.
We're hoping to make some ourselves soon but until then go check some of these out 🌈

A lot of LGBTQIA+ creators are trying to move off Meta/Twitter. Helping them build a following here helps!

We've sadly reached 35 on the list in just over a week (and with only one of us working on it)

Please help by letting us know any more to add or consider sharing the list. We're also looking for volunteers to help maintain this and other lists, or with bluesky dev experience with labeller services.

Now with Alt Text.
Please remember to add alt text to all image posts, especially when it's just a image of text! It only takes a moment but means your post is accessible to all.

We have a mod list of accounts that post news/politics and don't add alt text if you want to clear up your feed.

Now with #AltText

Remember to please add alt text to images! It makes your post accessible to everyone and show up in relevant search results!

Mod List: Actively advertising on Meta

Companies/organisations that are still advertising on Meta from 12/02/25. We believe in raising awareness of this so that people can choose whether to support organisations which fund a site which ignored and now encourages hate.

With added alt-text as this message is important and something we believe in and when talking about making sure people don't feel left out, let's try to make sure we remember to practice what we preach.

Gentle reminder that terms like "idiot" and "dumb" are ableist. Please don't use them.

Also ANY variation on the "tard" slur is just that - a slur - and I will block you for using it.

Please bear with us!
We're getting everything set up 😬
