Can we make a sub ask blind people sub? (self.Blind)
submitted by the9thpawn_
It’s annoying seeing all these market research posts and “what do blind people see in their dream” posts.

I don’t mind the surveys personally.

Having said that there’s r/askblindpeople

Lets alll redirect these people to that sub honestly
bradley22 1 points 4y ago
It honestly doesn’t bother me, if I don’t want to read it I skip it.

i don’t think that sub is that active but if you feel like redirecting them to it, go for it.

I think it’s kind of annoying honestly but i guess you’re right

Maybe we should put a link to it on the side, some may find the sub

Oops, my meds mean that I’m on my last brain cell.

No problem.

now I feel like an ass for asking any questions here
bradley22 5 points 4y ago
Nah, ask as much as you like.

People should learn to skip what they don’t like.

I don't mind legitimate questions, but I hate the "I'm gonna make a $20 braille display/smart cane/BME ripoff/other blindness tech with absolutely no effort at even the most rudimentary of research on the topic, please be my unpaid focus group and also teach me everything that I should be learning by myself" posts.

That’s what I dislike. It’s amazing to have a space for blind people and allies but I think the other things belong in r/askblindpeople.

Omg I’m on the phone with ssi and was asked if I can see color or if everything is black. Lol

I think this sub being a hub for educational type stuff is a great thing. Just skip what you don't want to read/respond to, but don't take away the opportunity for those of us who don't mind answering such questions that might help make sighted people more aware of us.
