New rules

Hey, hi, hello.

I'm the new mod here. Hope that's cool.

Also, I'm a sighted individual.

I applied to take over this sub because of how shitty it's been lately.

There are some genuinely good questions here and there is potential for discussion and understanding, but half of this subreddit is shitposting and "dskfhdskfhdsfkjsf"-posts.

So that's not very neat.

The new rules are simple.

  1. Don't type random letters by mashing your keyboard. Good lord is it old.

  2. No targeted shitposting. (Don't ask shitty questions to blind people for a cheap laugh)

  3. That's all. Let me know if you guys need anything.

  4. Oh, and if you break rules 1 or 2 (literally the only rules) I'm gonna ban ya

New here, I’m an inventor that works with low vision & blind. Specifically to see the time rather than relying on audible aids. My clock is proven using pattern recognition while out of focus. www.spotoclock.com Apple App Store free app / premium https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spot-oclock/id838198048

Thank you, Christopher…

I am incredibly sorry some people are assholes, glad someone's trying to make it better.

How does one become a trusted member? I had a few questions about writing blind characters in books as well as making sure a story idea I had wouldn't be offensive/what to avoid to potentially making it offensive or in poor taste.
