I've seen a number of people who make valuable contributions to the #Fediverse say that they are leaving or at least considering leaving due to a "toxic reply guy culture" (as it was worded in one case). I think generally those who are cis-het white guys (or plausibly read as such) don't get as much of this, but anyone who visibly isn't one (or more) of those things seems to get it. And I think the Fediverse is poorer for the resultant loss.

I wonder what can be done about this. As opposed to a lot of abusive behavior, I would assume a lot of this doesn't really break any articulable rule, and as opposed to trolling I suspect that many of the people doing it have no ill intent. So I'm not sure what sort of approach would ensure a more reasonable experience for people without excessive unintended consequences.

#Accessibility needs to be at the center of the work of science centers and museums, both at their physical location as well as in their digital engagement. I'm so excited to share the Digital Accessibility Toolkit @MerylEvans and I helped the Association of Science and Technology Centers create!

And the resources and information in this toolkit are valuable well beyond the science museum world, especially for #educators, #journalists, #marketers and others who focus on #communication.

Why do we need such guidelines? Because “A dominant culture or set of group dynamics can result in silencing [voices], without any individual intending to do so” to say the least.

«Gogoa Iruña-Veleian egin zen lardaskeriara eta faltsukeriara doa nahi gabe; konparazioak gorrotagarriak izango dira agian, baina beharrezkoak».

#IrulegikoEskua​ri ere etorriko ote zaio #sorioneku buelta?

«Alabaina, haien ohitura eta joerak euskaraz bizitzeko, bizitzen laguntzeko eta bizitzen uzteko ardatzetik kanpokoak dira. Hizkuntzari hegoak ebakitzen ari dira, "txoria nuen maite" kantatzen».

«Bi pilotari euskaldun aulkian edo pilota-aukeraketan erdaraz sumatzeak erabat trenputxartzen gaitu hainbat zale, eta mezuak saldoka bidaltzen dizkigute, zalantza artegagarri batek ilundurik; zein ote da aldageletako errealitatea, benetako hizkera?»
👇 👇 👇

Ederki azaldu ditu #JonjoAgirre​k,  #Deia​n, euskaldunok erdaldunen aurrean euskaraz jarduteko dauzkagun mugak:

«Euskaraz jarduteko eskubidea daukagu erdaldunek emandako neurrian. Kito. Erdaldunak molestatu gabe, beti ere»

Barka, #Berria​n da, ez #Deia​n. 🤷‍♂️🙏

#JoseMariPastor​​rek "gutaz" idatzi du #Deia egunkarian: 👇👇👇

"Euskal Herrian badira Twitterren euskara hutsez ari direnak, baina zenbat?"

"Batzuetan garrantzi handiagoa du mezuen eduki motak erabileraren portzentajeak baino. Ondo dago Euskararen Nazioarteko Egunean edo Euskaraldian euskara erabiltzea."

Baina... 👇👇👇

"Zure informazio garrantzitsua euskara hutsez zabaltzeak balio, plus bat ematen dio euskarari." 👇👇👇
