how in the world is mobile compatibility akin to accessibility? a big swath of neocities users are there BECAUSE they hate the way smartphones have become so widespread that many people have them instead of a computer. it's a pretty important part of the movement. "accessibility" is important because disabled netizens deserve to be able to view websites as much as everyone else, not because it can cater to more users. not having a computer is so far from being a disability that it's almost insulting to imply that the two are related in any way.
not everyone has access to devices with bigger screens. devices cost money. some people do not have enough money to purchase device with bigger screen. intentionally excluding people who cannot purchase bigger screen device is classist. (also some ppl just don’t want to have another device, or could buy another but aren’t for which reason.) denying access to someone who cannot afford a device is in my mind pretty similar to things like not providing image descriptions or being wary of eyestrain during creation.
PLUS. is there potentially a link between someone being disabled and not having the money for another device? That would be crazy to think about wouldn’t it /sar
mobile support on the small web doesn’t have to be perfect, but how is not trying—or worse yet just being an ass—any better than not having image descriptions? if someone needs yet another several hundred dollar device to engage, what is the point of the “movement”?
A web movement that does not try to be accessible is not free. Classism and ableism (just like every other social issue) are linked. What’s insulting is to imply that they aren’t.
And if you can’t find some way to make your site more accessible, you aren’t a good webmaster.

Yo a bunch of the asks in my inbox aren’t showing up on desktop??? It says I have 111 of them, and I CAN see them on mobile just fine. When I started answering the ones I already had an hour or so ago I could see the whole thing, and now when I get a new one I can see that one as it comes in, but none of the others in my inbox.
Has anyone ever encountered this issue? It’s very strange, idk why it’s happening and I kind of NEED to be able to access my asks. It’s way harder to properly answer all the Palestine GFM requests I’m getting from my phone (and more complicated to rb each one’s pinned, and add them to the master list doc I’m trying to make) AND I have a number of drawing request asks that I want to make sure I still have for when I actually get around to drawing the things requested.
Please help it’s really fucking weird
