AccidentalRenaissance has no active moderators due to Reddit's unprecedented API changes, and has thus been privated to prevent vandalism.

You're viewing a single thread.
For everyone who told us that they’d never taken a single art class and they could mod this place better with their eyes closed… Well, consider this a golden opportunity! It’s going to be tricky doing it with your eyes closed ever since Reddit’s painfully botched rollout of “disability friendly” mod tools in their disasterpiece of a mobile app has caused nothing but crashes and bugs, but you seemed so confident in the many (many, many, many) times you’ve expressed this opinion that we can only assume you know something about modding that we don’t!
Is such a fun line.

Oh my god that was annoying! But yes. Now, I am okay.
Firefox wasn't letting me comment, reply to comments, or edit my comments. I even dragged my home instance's moderator into helping me debug which I feel terrible about. (Especially because I originally described it as a federation error, only later realizing that the glitch was happening on reddthat as well as federated instances.)
After various debugging attempts, he told me to deactivate my extensions... which I hadn't tried for some reason... and it worked instantly. My Bionic Reader Firefox extension in particular turned out being the source of the problem. And now I feel like I've wasted my mod's time trying to debug something that he had no control over, but other than that? I'm okay.
Thanks for asking.
I mean.. Idk why.. but I love it.. imagining you pulling your hair out trying to troubleshoot this.. haha..
Been there done that..
Cheers mate!
Damn, that's nice - what a cool mod
That's fine. Bound to happen sooner or later with other users anyway. Next time when the mod debug a similar issue, they'll remember to ask the user to deactivate extensions first.
Give him some money
He's problem solving, so he looks fine.
Exactly this, yeah. Doing a little debugging.
Your user name would have been a fun notification to receive while troubleshooting ahaaha
I don't think there's a lot of blind people going to r/AccidentalRenaissance anyway.
Actually, we did have a small contingent of visually impaired people who enjoyed the subreddit, even if they had to zoom way in to see the details. Most people who are legally blind still have some vision and they still love pleasing arrangements of pixels.
That's why we're trying to make the Lemmy and kbin instances more accessible by adding image transcriptions where possible, a paragraph description explaining the details in the photo so mostly-blind people can enjoy them more.
Also, like, half the mod team is some flavor of disabled, and us cripples gotta stick together.
That contingent included me so I am happy to see you here :)
I'm still learning transcription so feedback for what works and what doesn't will be helpful!
This is a masterpiece! Now I miss r/murdered_by_words!
Oh please please please. And the companion suicide and kamikaze subs too. All absolute gems.
