Blind community on Discord? (self.Blind)
submitted by Snesley
I was wondering if some of you have Discord and if there's a specific server for visually impaired.

Their accessibility seems pretty lackluster. They also use the Electron framework for the desktop apps so that’s kind of a no go for screen readers.

I haven’t had much luck as far as accessibility goes. I feel like we’re better off on teamtalk, if anyone even uses that anymore besides me haha. It’s not the same but it works.

They don’t have the ability to make text bigger on mobile so I have to screenshot everything and zoom in.

Um, the link to join the server doesn't seem to work. I've got the account setup at this point and just need a server to connect to. According to my client, I'm Sasquatch#9196 on Discord. Wonder if this will work or not? Seems accessibility is slightly better with JAWS then NVDA, at least on my system.

I think this invite should work for the next 24 hours: https://discord.gg/N4wEsm

I'm willing to give it a go... have the desktop client installed on my laptop. I also took a peek at the iOS client but think it's not accessible enough yet to be useful. I'm so used to other blind people wanting to use either TeamTalk or \*shudders\* Skype for voice chat and I'm honestly ready to try something fresh.

You reckon we create one?
Snesley [OP] 1 points 4y ago
Since posting this I've learned the developers haven't spend much time to make Discord accessible, sadly. I would be happy to join such a server though.
hariztek 1 points 4y ago

hariztek 1 points 4y ago

I believe I am entj351 over there.. The ios app isn’t very accessible so no, I don’t have it not really on there. Not a big fan. But I do have an account. I prefer other means.

Servers just didn’t worked out last time I tried also chats were very difficult and the call thing was even more so.

I'd be up to chat through Discord. No real servers yet, since the accessibility thing is a big drawback. Most use IRC.

I haven't even bothered getting that app because of people on here talking about how bad accessibility is. I hardly ever use a PC anymore so that's a nogo.
I do have a server I'd like to check out though so I hope they the devs fix this.

The desktop client on PC is mostly usable once you figure out all the quirks but it took me a while to get it working. I have not heard of a server for the blind though. Its probably more effort than most are willing to put in to it.

Following! I have Discord. Unfortunately the iOS App isn’t accessible with VoiceOver in regards to servers. I have no idea how to contact the decs, though, since it’s accessible with Android.

Would you like to chat some time? My username on Discord is Snesley#6631.
