Just your periodic reminder that this account is no longer active on this psychopath-run platform. You can follow us – and thousands of other type friends – on Mastodon typo.social/@typographica which is recently updated and easier than ever to join: blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/09/mastod…
Truly grateful for all our followers here. Many may not know that this account is dormant for reasons stated in our last tweets (all of which have been confirmed many times since). Been posting on Mastodon since Nov and it’s great. Hope you can join us. typo.social/@typographica
Well, that’s it. Last chance to use movetodon.org: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20… You have until Feb 8 to use this handy tool, or any other Twitter API service, unless they pay. Hope to see you on Mastodon.
The Fonts In Use team unanimously condemns the assault on safety, security, and basic humanity continually displayed by Twitter’s new ownership. We loved it here, but can no longer justify engaging in this platform. Find us at typo.social/@FontsInUse and fontsinuse.com.
I don’t know how long it will continue to work, but this is the best migration tool I’ve used. Make your move now: movetodon.org
I am literally on my hands and knees begging that people do the very simple thing of finding out who inspires the people who inspire you and climb that tree until you surround yourself in a visual vocabulary that is not based on a single designer please

Join us Thurs 11/17 for Salon Series 35: Love, a panel of #Strikethrough artists discussing the tradition of tough love throughout the history of protest movements & community organizing. Featuring @natpyper, @mvenezky, and Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo: letterformarchive.org/events/view/sa…
So satisfying to make frequent use of a thing you built yourself (or with friends). That’s me multiple times a day looking something up on @FontsInUse.

All I can add is this freeze-frame from “Farewell etaoin shrdlu” which documented the last day of the Linotype at the “New York Times” in 1978. The end of an era. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was good while it lasted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crying won’t help.

@firstclassrice I heard end-to-end encrypted direct messages are being worked on. As for your second point, yeah, the design and accessibility definitely need work. I'm a totally blind person using Mastodon and keyboard hotkeys for common functionality and ARIA labels would help.
