I don’t fully understand the problem but maybe
@feditips can help?

Here’s me, unable to do mental arithmetics in spite of trying hard for nine years at school. Then we were allowed to use electronic calculators (those old-fashioned thingies before mobile phones existed) and suddenly I became good at maths! I began to really enjoy it even , and I loved algebra - maths with letters, woohoo!

So dyscalculia doesn’t keep you from understanding the logic of maths, it just keeps you from crunching numbers 🙂

I’m on a single user instance, and I don’t recommend it. Especially not for someone coming from the biggest instance there is. You’ll be shocked to find yourself on a desert island. The lack of backfilling makes it a very frustrating experience, and yes there are workarounds, and yes it takes dedication to implement them and keep your blocklists up to date etc.

Go find a nice medium sized instance and give its admin a fiver a month. Much less hassle and better federation.

“….isn’t optimised…” being a very polite British understatement.

@aral @kittylyst

here’s a step by step instruction.

When you upload your lists on your new server, pay attention to the drop down menu. It defaults to “following” so select block if you upload your block list. Just saying 🤣

We think we are inclusive. But are we?

"...it sucks to lose out on a shared social language because you can’t see the images everyone is talking about."

“Unless I have someone sit with me and explain to me what’s going on, I definitely feel like I can’t have a conversation about it with someone,” she says. “It is exclusionary to a point, because I like jokes. I like pasta recipes. I want to know that stuff! I’m still a part of the social fabric.”

Add alt-text, folks.

I find this term confusing because if mansplaining is a man without expertise explaining things, then turksplaining would mean someone from Turkey without expertise explaining things, and it seems you use it just the other way round?

I can’t come up with an alternative, though 🤷♀️

@aral thumbs up!
