With the greatest respect, how you present yourself on here is totally up to you, but if you're going to put long, complicated emojis on either side of your display name your posts are going to take a long time to read with a screenreader, it's just easier to skip. I want to read your thoughts, or anything else you post, not have to spend thirty seconds reading your name. Just a thought.
@lulu_bear Some fediverse clients have an option to remove emojis from user names. Enafore does, for instance. Might be worth checking. If not, consider bugging whoever maintains the apps that you use.
This avenue might be more successful than shaming people into changing their cultural norms to fit yours.
@objectinspace@lulu_bear Or, people could just be better at sensitivity to things outside of their cultural norms. A string of emojis is not a universally accessible way to display yourself. Just because I can change a setting in my client to remove emojis doesn’t mean I should. The responsibility shouldn’t always have to be on the affected disabled person to accommodate things. This attitude is part of the problem I’m afraid.
