If you're reading this, please #boost so I can get back to being federated with the #fediverse. Unfortunately, the data center I've been hosting with for years and years encountered some serious issues. I had to move suddenly, losing almost everything. I took the chance to change the software I use. But I've still lost all of my followers, all of my federation, etc! It's also taken down rblind.com, my passion project to get more #blind folks off #reddit. I'll be bringing that back over the coming days. In the meantime, hi! I'm a blind guy who uses the #NVDA#screenreader, loves #accessibility and works in the field, and reads tons of #fanfic, #litrpg, and #sciencefiction and #fantasy in my spare time. Nice to meet you!
@fastfinge I don't think I followed you before, but your intro was pretty close to me. LitRPG, scifi, fantasy, NVDA user. I don't work in accessibility, but I'm familiar with the technical aspects of it. I do use Reddit, though, quite a lot.
@alexhall Honestly it's fine if you're reading and commenting. My bitterness comes from the way they screwed those of us who are moderators. If you post on /r/blind it now takes ages for your post to be approved. And that's entirely because of the way Reddit broke the accessibility of mod tools, and discontinued the Reddit API, so no third party app could make it better.
@fastfinge I can understand that. I'm still mad at them for the whole API thing last year. I'd move if I could, but I've found too many helpful communities on there. Fandoms to book genres to instruments and more, all in an interface that's incredibly easy and efficient thanks to the Dystopia app. I don't know how to replace it, both in terms of how I access the information and where the majority hang out. I wish the majority of users had cared last year and found a new home.
