I have two questions about legibility for blind people on Fedi.

Does word shortenings and stuff make things illegible to you? For instance, if I write "smth" instead of something or "idk" instead of "I don't know", does that make it hard for you to follow?

I'm kinda oldfashioned when it comes to emoji. I usually write them using symbols rather than unicode. Does that become a jarbled mess for you or do you understand the meaning of things like :) and xD?

If any of these are an accessability concern to you, I'll do my best to address it for future posts of mine.

@reina on a different note #braille uses shortforms to convey longer words in less space so it's not that different, like I do not type yourself out it's just yrf or afterward is afw, and there are many more, braille is just brl.

@dhamlinmusic Oh, that's interesting. I didn't even consider braille devices :P

@reina I’m not using my #BrailleDisplay right now just the #BrailleScreenInput on my phone.
