Most things people cite as “accessible design” is just good design, full stop. Color contrast? Good clarity/readability for everyone. Keyboard navigation? Great for power users (that includes you, probably). Screenreader affordances? Meaningful labelling and semantic structure.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what exactly about my tweets suggest decoration and not a more involved design process. My entire argument is that designers should be taking accessibility into closer consideration so they _aren't_ just decorators.

At Facebook, your core business extractive & exploitative. Ask: what are we providing access to? If it's a place where people are tracked/profiled/manipulated then is access a net positive? If you know people are being abused somewhere, do you build a ramp to it or shut it down?
