I am really curious how the French government will get away with using Matrix/Riot in all their govt agencies. They'll either have to ignore people with disabilities, or they'll have to contribute a huge amount of work to the Matrix project, both the web front-end and the iOS and Android clients. Because for a blind screen reader user, Matrix is far from being usable efficiently right now.
And no, I don't have time to contribute to all of these projects. I can't fight all fights.
@marcozehe Matrix is an open platform and there are a dozen clients available, some of which surely solve this problem.
For example there is a plugin for Weechat which is a text-only IRC client. You can connect to matrix.org through weechat and surely a screen reader could work with that.
Riot is only popular because it's the most feature-packed client, but it's certainly not the only choice.
