I recently “celebrated” my 15th year anniversary on Twitter, but given recent developments am reconsidering whether I will continue with that social media platform. All of the social media networks have significant problems with false information and distortion such that they can present a danger to some gullible individuals who apparently cannot tell the truth from fabrication. Rather than encouraging all of you to continue to participate, I have limited my activity (postings) on these platforms. Instead, I will be using this space for more of my commentary on accessibility and web development. I have removed my Twitter feed from the bottom of this home page.<\/p>\n
I will also be experimenting with other platforms and assessing their veracity. I created a Mastodon account today and will play around with that for a few weeks to see if that has potential.<\/p>\n
