so because I don't have anything better to do my current setup looks like this: I am using debian 12 in wsl on windows 11 to connect irssi (#irc client) to my znc bouncer on my Debian VPS that connects to #bitlbee on the same VPS to connect to #discord via purple. All that so I can chat with a friend on discord from the terminal instead of switching to the other window.

And the worst is that it works without a hitch.

„Es ist zwar unklar, wie die von der EU vorgeschlagenen [sog.] 'Rückführungszentren' aussehen würden, aber wir wissen, dass die bestehenden Migrationsabkommen mit Nicht-EU-Ländern dazu geführt haben, dass Tausende … Gewalt, Missbrauch, Ausbeutung und Tod ausgesetzt sind.

Die Menschen absichtlich aus den Augen und aus dem Sinn zu verbannen, ist keine nachhaltige Lösung für die Migrationsherausforderungen in Europa.”

What's the state of #matrix, #xmpp and #IRC as far as #screenReader -accessible clients are concerned? Desktop (Windows, Mac) and mobile (iOS, Android).

Hoping for some input, please feel free to boost. As far as I know:

Matrix does not have a lightweight, fully accessible client for desktop, but one could be modified, such as #gomuks. On mobile, Element has scrolling issues, which is unacceptable for large rooms.

XMPP has accessible desktop clients (I used to run #Adium on the Mac), also #WeeChat. No idea about mobile.

IRC is perhaps the one which everything supports on desktop, from #MirandaIM through Weechat to the old Freedom Chat, which I could probably rewrite if I had to. Also not sure about mobile, but it would definitely need push notifications, because we can't expect people to stay constantly online on the go. #a11y #accessibility
