The Speed of Social Media

[davidgillon]

 I just went from first hearing about a new Social Media platform to having its CTO tell me I was wrong in about two minutes ;)

Someone tweeted a link to a blogpost by Noam Bardin, founder of "Post News", in which he talked about all the things they aren't working on, one of which was "Accessibility".

So I checked his twitter, and about fourth down was where he'd posted about how "discrimination comes in many shapes and sizes". So being a rabble-rousing little shit I replied "Like not working on accessibility?"

Which got me an almost instant reply from their co-founder/CTO, quoting a reply he'd already written to someone else about how accessibility was core to the re-write they were doing and just "not something Noam actively tracks".

I pointed out if he's going around saying it's not being worked on he clearly considers it optional, and someone might want to have a word in his ear about what constitutes discrimination. And possible legal liability for that matter.

I wasn't impressed to see a reply from the CTO saying "everyone needs to relax" (and told him as much).
