Author-ized L.J.Emacs & blogging nerd shit
Author-ized L.J.fannish neeeerd, Dreamwidth (but I repeat myself)
Georgiana Brummell<p>*Please only add me if you're over twenty-one.<br>Since the Bio field has such a short character limit, consider this to be my profile/biography.<br>I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), loneliness, bad self-esteem, or anxiety/depression, and will not add those who do so often. The same is true of those who feel it necessary to use obscenities constantly. I am not a modern programmer or gamer, I do not use Linux, and I don't care what social network you use.*<br>Hello. You may have seen me on Friendica.world or blob.cat. Both had accessibility issues, so I am now here, but my other accounts are still open (dandylover1 on both). Also, if you wish to add me to MSN/Windows Live Messenger via Escargot, I am dandylover1@escargot.chat.<br>Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century English grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, the Italian language, British history, the Regency, opera, and MS-DOS and its current varients. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, classic literature, nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera, particularly singers from the 1940's and earlier, with Tito Schipa, Beniamino Gigli, Ferruccio Tagliavini, and Mattia Battistini being my favourite singers. I also enjoy English and Viennese operettas. In classical music, I like Baroque through early Romantic. I prefer antique menswear (usually Edwardian) and accessories. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity, though I do enjoy adult fun. I am happily childfree and am not religious. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.<br>I am also single and searching. If you are a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man over sixty, please write to me. I will accept platonic friends twenty-one and older.<br>This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.</p><p><a href="http://www.dreamwidth.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span

Georgiana Brummell<p>I just wrote a huge entry about the Fediverse here. It is a guide with all sorts of tips and explanations, and links to many useful pages. Please feel free to share it with anyone who may be interested in joining. Note, though, that I am not the type to care if you're on a mainstream platform or not. Thi sis just meant as a guide for those who may need it, not as a way of bashing those who use non-Fediverse platforms. As a side note, Dreamwidth is one of my favourite sites on the Internet, precisely because of its wonderful accessibility.</p><p><a href="https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/248988.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/248…</a></p><p>If you would rather read it on Reddit, here is the same post there.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/BlindAndFine/comments/1le5jqv/fediverse_explanations_and_guides/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">reddit.com/r/BlindAndFine/comm…</a></p><p><a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Akkoma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Akkoma</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Dreamwidth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dreamwidth</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Friendica</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=guide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>guide</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=IOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IOS</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MacOS</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reddit</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=tips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tips</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=TWBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TWBlue</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=TweeseCake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TweeseCake</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a></p>

Georgiana Brummell<p>I tried to post this to the Friendica support forum, but it kept timing out when I entered my information. I am now attempting to subscribe to their e-mail list. However, I thought I would write this here so that those who know coding, etc. might be able to offer a solution, or at least, to pass this on to the developers.</p><p>I joined Friendica in October of 2024, when Facebook decided to shut down their Basic Mobile site (not app). I am totally blind, and their main page is a nightmare to use with a screen readre (NVDA in my case). I chose Friendica because of the huge character limit, the ability to edit and delete posts, local posting, extensive profiles with keywords, and the ability to connect with all sorts of accounts in the Fediverse. For the most part, I am enjoying my time here. However, I am noticing a lot of inaccessibility on the Friendica page. I am not a programmer, but I'm guessing this is at the core of the software and is not due to the instance I'm using (friendica.world). I am also guessing that the page is not written in HTML5 and does not follow WCAG guidelines, though I may be wrong about that. If not, I strongly urge the developers to review them and implement them if possible. If so, perhaps, some changes can still be made that would make this a more screen reader-friendly site. Note that I tried this with Firefox and Supermium (a direct fork of Chrome).</p><p>Mostly, I use TweeseCake to access the site, but there are some things I can't do with that client. All of the following refer to the site itself.</p><ol><li>There is a list of links at the top of the page that acts like a menu. This causes many problems while trying to perform basic tasks, particularly editing posts and handling notifications. I can't always activate said links/menu either.</li></ol><p>1A. I can't stress how frustrating editing posts is. It sometimes takes over ten minutes. The "edit" option is a link/menu, and it can only be found via another menu. Once I finally find and activate it, I hear the sound indicating that I have entered focus Mode. Usually, this means that I am in an edit box and can type. However, in this case, I am taken back to the main page, as if I never entered the option to edit my post. Using e to try to find an edit box doesn't help, as it just sends me to the replies to different comments. So I am forced to find the post, and start all over again. The only way I can do this successfully is to try to tab through the links/menu at the top of the page (when it works), then through other posts, until, finally, I am placed in an edit box where I can type.</p><p>1B. When I go to the Notifications" link, I have to tab to "Mark all System Notifications as Seen". This isn't even a regular link, as I can't copy and paste the text from it. Once I tab to and out of that, I can then read my notifications. But here is what I have to do if I want to see follow requests.<br>1. Try to get the notifications link to work, then click on it.<br>2. Tab to marking notifications.<br>3. Perform a search for the word follow.<br>4. Click on the link of the notification that someone wants to follow me. I open this in a new window, to try to keep the original one available.<br>5. Make my choice as to whether to approve that notification, then close that window.<br>6. Return to the main window. Only now, I am not where I left off. Instead, I am placed back at the beginning of the page and the Notifications menu is not open.<br>7. Repeat steps 1 through 3.<br>Ideally, I should be able to go to a normal notifications link, perform steps 3 through 5, then return back to the link, and perform steps 3 through 5 again, as many times as necessary, without having to repeat 1 through 3.</p><ol><li>I can't just go to the site and enter an edit box to post. I must go through a menu to find the link to do so. Yet there is an edit box for searching for content, tags, etc.</li><li>Some pinned posts don't always read properly. I can see my name, when I posted, that it's pinned, a public message, tags (if applicable), buttons for resharing, etc., and the number of comments. But I cannot simply read the post itself. ""Comments" is also a button, not a link. Even when I expand them, I still can't see my post, and finding the button again to close them takes a lot of time, as posts also have their own buttons. Note that unpinned posts are read properly.</li><li>While the process of editing my profile is completely accessible, finding the edit option might be slightly confusing for new users, as it requires entering yet another link/menu, this time with the user name as the title..</li><li>If I go to a profile of someone not on Friendica (usually Mastodon) and wish to reply to a post, after I enter my credentials, it takes me back to my profile, not to the relevant post.

Georgiana Brummell<p>I remarked earlier today that, since joining Friendica, I've seen more posts about programming than I have in my entire life. This made me laugh, because it's funny, and I've enjoyed hearing about people's different experiences. But I also keep seeing posts and conversations about things such as veganism, anti-capitalism, whites and racism, American politics, mental health, etc. It's beyond annoying. I didn't join the Fediverse to have my newsfeed blasted with radical politics, people's medical issues, and so on. Even on Facebook, there were the constant reminders to love and stand up for yourself and so on, which I never understood, always having loved myself and never tolerating nonsense from anyone. But there, at least, I could filter it out by either not adding such people as friends or simply defriending them. Here, I see conversations that I have no interest in, just because my friends are involved in them, or some page that I otherwise like posted about them. I can't believe there is no way to filter out things on Friendica and/or with TweeseCake. As side note, Dreamwidth is also full of people who write about all sorts of medical and mental health issues. But that least, that's a journalling site, so it makes more sense.</p><p><a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Dreamwidth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dreamwidth</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Friendica</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=posting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>posting</span></a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=TweeseCake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TweeseCake</span></a></p>
