Am I the only one who finds these things on obnoxious? Accessibility shaming is lame.

"Lame" might not have been the best choice of words 🤣

Seriously though, happy to have a chat about it, I am not normally militant about accessibility (the format of the "motherfucking" websites lent itself to calling people out as that was the essence of the other sites.)

I will always prod people and point out accessibility errors, I even get "summoned" to do it on DEV as a bit of fun! But if you don't know about how to do something in an accessible way that is fair enough, it is my job to try and show people how to do things properly. However, if you do know and don't bother then that is different.

But is it the calling out you object to (fair enough), or the fact that accessibility is an important skill that most developers do not possess or want to engage with and the fact I "hit back" at that?
