"doesn't use the internet" - thats a lie, blind people can use the internet with all these tts programs, a lot of which are simple to configure and use
It says "doesn't use the internet", not "can't use the internet". Whilst the internet has become more accessible over time through the use of screen readers etc, accessibility is unfortunately not considered a priority for many apps and websites. It's trickier to navigate the web as a blind person because websites are primarily designed to be looked at, not heard. It's not unreasonable that she might just not want to use it, even though she could learn to.
Have you ever seen those wheelchair ramps to nowhere and wondered why they exist? The answer is that they're the result of the Americans with Disabilities Act and lawsuits with consent decrees forcing governments to install them. (There really ought to be some more lawsuits and consent decrees forcing them to build the sidewalks connecting the ramps as well, but never mind that for now.)
Similarly, I look forward to the day when websites are finally held accountable for their failure to abide by the ADA and required to provide proper accessibility.
You can check the modlog. The reason given is "automod," which seems quite bizarre to me, especially given that there are no objectionable keywords in the comment, and that it was removed 2 hours after it was made.
In theory, yes. In practice, most websites continue to be hostile for differently abled people, with the vast majority of websites continuing to have poor accessibility features. There might be a few things worth still going to the internet for, but not that many. 🤷♂️
The modlog says it was the sh.itjust.works automod. The comment content didn't contain any keywords that could have tripped it, so I'm not sure why it would have been set off. Maybe the automod is set to permanently ban recently created accounts that have a significant number of downvotes.
Because a lot of the mods are power tripping dipshits. Usually they're the people who hated the mods over at reddit and now that they have power they run places how they want, which is usually with an authoritarian fist.
