how do you read this subreddit if you're blind (self.Blind)

submitted by simpygoose

wtf...

Wtf? Really? This subreddit gets clogged up with random questions that sighted people have for blind people all the time. Of course those questions are going to get downvoted. You could have found your answer on google. https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-samsung&source=android-browser&q=how+do.blind+people.use+computers

I'll ask this here, because I don't want to make a new post. Why does this subreddit have custom CSS styling/=?

Fuccaneer 2 points 7y ago

Probably for improved readability for those who are visually impaired but not completely blind.

Genuine question for you. Why be a smartass? What's the point?

You're perfectly aware that the custom CSS is for non-blind readers.

Oh, this is a snarky question about why bother with a snoo if the peeps can't see it anyway. Most blind people actually have some vision. Legal blindness is something like 250/20 (I don't really know, cause with my condition it is the visual field, not acuity, that will get me) and less than 20 degrees of sight.

Though interesting question for fastfinge, who made our snoo? It is a reddit alien with sunglasses, a white cane and a guide dog.

This question is answered in $1.

Hey fastfinge, who made our snoo?

fastfinge 3 points 7y ago

Well, /u/SophiaDevetzi is in charge of the CSS and general visual appearance around here, and I do know she made the original one. Then there was some issue with the graphic we were using on Twitter, so I think that got changed, but I have no idea if the snoo was also changed. But if it has to do with CSS or other visual things, you're safe to assume it was her.
