@BrahmaBelarusian@regenerate.social @acb@mastodon.social @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social Thanks for raising a really important point. (For the record, I'm in Australia, and I'm guessing ACB is too? So there might be cross-country differences or nuances at play.) All public buildings should be accessible. That's local, state, and federal. And not just government offices. Schools, universities, and public hospitals too. To hold public meetings in inaccessible buildings is totally unacceptable. Public participation should take place on government websites. That includes things like minutes of meetings and submissions to inquiries. It's a good use case for where a private Mastodon or GoToSocial server, where posts are visible without an account /should/ be used. Government information that's only available on a private, for-profit, ad-supported social network is totally unacceptable. To continue the metaphors, government town hall meetings /shouldn't/ be held in casinos.
