Thank you again for making our small little community just a little bit bigger.

I'm really happy with the direction it's going and the future of this community. The impact not only for individual users but others outside of the community such as myself are amazing.


Thank you again,

The Mods of /r/Blind

>Today we hit a real milestone for everyone involved with ensuring the spread of this incredible disability. You've all done wonderful work, and you should be incredibly proud of the impact that you've made on real people all around this world.

>Some people, like myself, found this r/blind seeking support and connection with others who find themselves facing the same challenges and disadvantages that we find in our own daily lives.

>That is all.

I am incredibly sorry for my smart-assery. I think a lot of us use humor and sarcasm to cope with the challenges of vision loss, and it's nice to be able to connect with others doing the same.

I can only speak for myself as someone who has recently become visually impaired, but I've found this sub to be incredibly helpful- not just as a means to find answers and support for ourselves, but it's incredibly empowering to offer the same to others. If nothing else we can use our own struggles and misfortune to guide and support other through what can be an incredibly scary and traumatic change in their lives.

Thanks everyone for sharing and engaging with each other on here, it's more important now than ever before with the entire world facing such tumultuous times where feeling isolated and alone has become the current normal for too many of us around the world.

I don't follow at all...

I didn't mean to make it look like I was quoting you, though I realize that I did use the 'quote' markup
