@Nyan@blahaj.zone Agreed 100%, and I actually started drafting more of a thread exploring how SEO and "professionalism" no longer carry value, but accessibility is more important than ever, then decided it'd be better suited to a proper blog post. I'm working on it <3 But I don't see accessibility and web design experimentation as being mutually-exclusive at *all*, nor do I think it's productive to frame it that way, especially since, statistically, most of the people making personal web pages in the "web 1.0" tradition don't need any convincing that accessibility is important. They might need some instruction on *how*, or perspectives on what exactly "accesibility" *means* in the context of web design, but I feel like the initial hurdle of stressing the importance of accessible web design as an abstract priority has already been cleared for most people who'd be inclined to do it as a hobby - maybe I'm overly optimistic about *people* in that regard. (Accessibility in the for-profit web design space is still very much a fight that needs fighting - losing that fight with a past employer is one of the reasons I don't do web dev professionally anymore - but the culture of not-for-profit artistic web design that's sprung up in recent years is VERY different, which was the whole point of my original message <3)
