Boosts appreciated. I'm making a page of questions #blind people get asked repeatedly, that you can send to a curious sighted person. If you're a sighted person with questions, or if you're a blind person who's been asked certain questions repeatedly, send them my way.

@MediaActivist @lashman Apparently there's been a lot of users, specifically younger users, who have started distancing themselves from Facebook. Unfortunately, they choose Snap Chat as an alternative, from what I heard.

@lashman @MediaActivist Great. Another reason never to touch Facebook again. I made the decision to not actively use the Facebook app about a year or 2 ago, and I deleted all my posts and made a new one explaining that I would never be coming back, and that I want people to remove pictures of me from their profiles and posts entirely.

Gotta love how #OpenAI deems that I'm not allowed to know what an image from a TV show looks like because it depicts violence and death. Imagine if I were sighted, but a company had the right to block me and the rest of the world from being able to see certain things because it contained graphic content. That should be my choice, not theirs. This is one reason we shouldn't support game-changing technology being controlled and maintained by corporations like this IMO. #Blind #Accessibility

@devinprater @ThisPlaceAgain People keep pointing out that Mastodon isn't very inviting for black people and that there's a lot of racism here, but the only mentioning of black people I've ever seen here is people pointing out that Mastodon isn't very inviting for black people. I've never seen anyone even hint towards the idea that black people aren't welcome here. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but if you want people to see that it's an issue, you have to site your sources.

@Polychrome Do you have to take a manual vacuum to the underside of the coffee table then?

@Polychrome Ah, I see. Cute name! 👍
