I use it, but I feel that im damaging what is left of my vision. So, I do small sessions.

I for one dont get into all the different apps I use reddit and facebook twitter annoyed me when I tried it and so it went

Just the same. It’s just read to them

Personally more, but I am super high in extroversion so when at home and not studying my way to get out is on social media, I get out a lot. I am one of those extroverts who don’t like silence hahahaha! The better at socialization I get the more social I become. Hahaha! Half of it is blindness part of it family and half of it just my personality. I’ve gotten better. Hahaha! Anyway.


Statistically? The same. I don’t think blindness is a big factor to why people do or do not use social media.

I knew about Reddit, but never used it until after I lost a great deal of my vision after an acute illness last year. Some very gracious and knowledable fellow Redditors gave me advice on handling my Social Security Disability claim. I also got a lot of support from the r/blind sub, from dealing with the immediate aftermath of my vision loss. I went from a mid-career professional working in public safety to legally blind in less than a week. It was a heck of an adjustment and quite a few fellow redditors DM’ed me with just a kind word. I learned a lot about accessible software and other adaptive tech from the sub.

I think Reddit is popular among the blind/VI community because of the simple elegance of the formatting make it easier to use with adaptive tech.

I would say less, until I found a dark theme for Facebook, and now a bit more. Now it's just annoying because the darker background makes the dark gray buttons almost invisible. OH, and emoji are just dumb. I miss text emoticons. I have no idea what those little yellow faces are doing.

It depends on the person.

My Godson is blind and he uses social media about the same as me.

I use it quite a bit using screenreaders and dictation. I’d found reddit looking for advice on disability and vision loss.

I'm blind, I use it just as much as an average person.

Mostly the same, although I bet we use Instagram or other things centered around photos a bit less. But otherwise the same.
