@sanityinc @aral Ha, thank you!

@aral The only reason to detect an ad-blocker is to warn the site visitor if it's missing.

(Note that the plugin doesn't work too well right now, the ad-blocker detection started to get pretty unreliable. Maybe it's time to look at this again.)

My new project, https://AltTextHallOfFame.org, is a celebration of the effort, ingenuity, and creativity that goes into making the web a friendlier and more inclusive place, one captioned image at a time.

@aral Thank you! Yes, this took some research and experimenting, so I'll be very happy if this saves someone else the time, and inspires more people to make things that work for everyone, not just Mastodon.

Usually I polish my work a bit more before releasing it publicly, but I really wanted to give people interested in making fediverse apps for everyone a bit of a head start.

Here's a very work-in-progress authentication server I use for my fediverse connections data visualization project:

And here's a few things I learned along the way.

I hope this is all useful, and I'll welcome any help to make these better!

"While the man behind Mount Rushmore was very closely aligned with the KKK, evidence suggested that the organization itself did not fund the monument's creation. But the monument remained tied to a racist past, highlighting figureheads who were slave owners and despised by Native Americans, and built on land that was indeed stolen by the U.S. government."

Happy #PresidentsDay!
