@dynamic@stefan I am not visually impaired but I do have a slightly related story.
My uncle passed away due to ALS just before the ALS Ice Bucket challenge took over America.
In the beginning many in our family thought the whole challenge was crass because it was often just symbolic and not everyone donated or even knew that is was for ALS.
@dynamic@stefan Giving people an easy way to jump aboard a cause is often very valuable and even more so if you highlight next steps for the very few who want to take them.
Either way, my eyesight is fortunately very good right now, but as someone who works with computers, I expect it to degrade as I age, so, it would be nice if by the time I do rely on assistive technologies, folks do take this more seriously.
