Hiya figure I make one of these as I am sure very few if any of you actually met a deaf and blind person online. Thus I figured it's a good way to provide everyone an opportunity of virtually meeting one and could be pretty fun as well.
 
How hard is it to respond to threads with being blind?
Xenforo actually make it pretty easy as long as the theming are good.

My main concerns is when the themeing are too bright (brighter than defaults generally speaking), contrasts, smaller text and such.

My magnification at 2.4x can otherwise usually fair pretty well.
 
How often do you play Minecraft?
I used to play a ton but ever since both Twitch monopolized modification distribution and that modern servers' control panels became inaccessible I left running a server anymore and didn't play since then.

It also doesn't helps that Discord had their own shiz going on too with my account too (could not 2FA since they only had app options and not SMS, email or even hardware as options).
 
Do you use a screen reader? And if so, which one?

I do not use one coupled with my magnificanication and such as mentioned above. But thanks for asking of this though.

I do find however that loud enough audible cues works wonder for me when for instance there is a visitor at my website hosting business site and such (there is one for chats and such as well). :)

What's your favourite notification sound?
Ever since the chat was added to my site nobody actually used it yet. So I gonna need to be operating the site longer to see what really fits me best other than the occasional visitor notifications I get throughout most days.

Once the improvements are made here for the themeing I plan on sharing that here too so that should helps too.
 
What are some stereotypes about blind people that are wrong?
That we can't be aware of our surroundings.

I was at the community college for my evening classes at the time and when I was heading my way out some person asked if I needed help and I said "Thanks but no thanks you.". Then they said "Ah okay, just so you know through you headed to a thing called a "door"". I told them "ah, thanks".

I was of course thinking "he said what??". ?‍♂️

Wow, that is incredibly condescending.

I think a lot of people assume that someone being blind means they can't see at all. That isn't true, there is many forms of blindness.

Are you completely deaf or just hard of hearing? If you don't mind me asking.
