Dating a blind girl
All of her friends are blind
Love that she holds my arm when we're out
Love that she eventually got used to my apartment and can now navigate around by herself
Love that her guide dog is super friendly and is always on the job to help her.
Love that her family sees me as a great person because her being blind doesn't bother me
Love that she doesn't use the internet because it's too much hassle
Love that she requests I read new books for her in my voice and record them so she has her own boyfriend audiobook library.
"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.
What’d the parent comment say?
Did it break rules?
I didn’t remove it; the instance admins (the modlog says “automod”) did. They also got permanently banned from sh.itjust.works, apparently. I personally don’t think it was that bad - it sounds more like misunderstanding or ignorance than intent to cause offense. You’re welcome to look at the modlog to see what it said
? It's still up for me on boost
Maybe Boost doesn't display that it's been removed? When a comment is removed, Lemmy stills sends the content of the comment to the frontend - it's up to your client to not display the content. The comment is definitely gone on the website frontend.
