Dragonwolf of the Shadow PrideAlright, so just a little thing since I'm a curious creature! Why has voice chat been going down so much these days? It still seems to be pretty prevalent in the blind community for obvious reasons, but everywhere else I see it seems that creatures would rather text than talk. It kinda makes me sad, ya know. I just feel like it's so hard to make a connection over text alone. How can you truly understand how someone feels when you cannot get any indication of how they feel other than what they say. I am not accusing anyone of lying or anything, but sometimes we don't know how to express something, and the voice can tell a lot more than I think a lot of creatures realize. So I'm wondering what other creatures have to say about this. Why do y'all think this is? Also, if any creatures are like me and prefer to talk rather than text, I am always open, feel free to reach out anyway you can find me. If you don't have anything listed on my socials page, reach out to me here, and I'll see what I can do. #texting #voicechat #voip #socialMedia
André Polykanine@dragonwolfsp voice takes far more time and effort than text. And as for intonation and overall mood, there are emojis (hated by blind for some reason).
@menelion The reason for that is because its annoying to sift through all the eemotes to get to what the person is saying. Emagin if I was talking to you and kept saying things like smiling face with squinting eyes out loud, that's what it's like for someone with a screen reader to read a bunch of emojis.
@dragonwolfsp I use screen reader myself and still I use and like emojis. As for voice messages, I listen to them on 2x or even 3x because it's too slow to me.
