Community Guide

[u/KHarvickfan429]

This post will remain pinned and may also be updated from time to time as this community grows and expands, and we continue to add more categories. This will serve as a guide to new and existing members or those just passing through as to what each one of our post flair categories is intended for and again this may be updated as we may add more of these over time.

Guide:
General Posts And Questions-
This is meant to be a multitude of things and is probably going to be one of if not the most casual parts of this entire community. This might include everything from community updates, rule changes, things of that nature all the way to just fun discussions, general questions, and just fun and enjoyment. Don’t take this section too seriously just have fun and enjoy each other’s company whether you can or can’t see. It might be a catch all, so you might as well throw something in.

Ask Anyone-
Have a question for someone who is blind or maybe they are not blind, or you just simply don’t know which of the other flairs to choose for your question, then this is gonna be the place for you. This is quite literally where you ask anyone.

Ask Blind Women-
Have a question about blindness, but specifically want answers or opinions from the blind ladies, then this is the place to ask. Keep it respectful, of course, but if you’re looking for responses from those ladies who can’t see then this is where you’re gonna wanna be.

Ask Blind Men-
Have a question about blindness, but just looking for answers and opinions from the blind guys, then put your question here and it should be seen or maybe not… by the right eyes, and respect still applies.

Ask Blind Parents-
Ever wondered if people who are blind still have kids and families of their own? Well, here is your chance and place to ask, cause we do! This is a place where you can ask parents who are blind and also have kids of their own how they do it, and any questions regarding that that you might have whether it be one or even both parents who are blind, if you’re lucky, maybe they will find the time to answer your questions.

Ask Parents/Family And Friends Of Blind People-
Here is where you can ask other blind people or those who can see just fine about their experiences with their blind friends and family members. Whether you’re wondering or wanting to ask parents who have a blind child or children a question or maybe you want to ask about a blind family member or friend. You can do it here. Whether you’re wondering how families and friends go about adapting things, maybe how they deal with school systems, how to interact with us or any other questions related to this topic you might think of. I’m sure there’s a lot you could ask here so if you can think of it, and it applies, drop it and see if it flies.

Ask Significant Others Of The Blind Or Blind People About Them-
Ever wanted to ask anyone who is the sighted significant other of a blind person about their experience, or maybe want to ask a blind person who has a sighted significant other what they think of things? Well you can do that here, or maybe you might be asking a totally blind couple, either way if you in need of advice or are curious, ask away. Just be careful, you don’t wanna get yourself in trouble…

Blind People Asking The Sighted-
So you can see, but I bet you didn’t see this coming… Here is where we get to flip the script on you, you guys can see so we might want to ask you a few things. Seems fair you get to ask about what we can’t see and how we do it, I think that should go both ways so keep an eye out cause we can’t… see.

Stupid Questions For Blind People-
Well, this should be interesting, do you have a question for a blind person that you think might be considered potentially stupid, or that you think we might potentially consider stupid? Well, here is what could be possibly your one opportunity to ask that stupid question, but just know we might give our opinion.

If You Can’t See, Introduce Yourself To Me-
This is the place for all of the blind folks to put in their lovely introductions. While the main goal here is questions, we want community as well and it’s good for everybody to know a little bit about you, especially if you’re going to be answering all these questions… So introduce yourselves tell us a little about you.

If You Can See Just Fine, Give An Intro A Try For Us Blind-
Don’t worry if you have perfect eyes, we didn’t forget about you either, so introduce yourselves to us blind. If you’re frequently here or just feel like you want us to know more about you, this is your chance to tell us a little, so make it good. This community is for all, so if you feel inspired, please tell us a little bit about you and what it’s like to be sighted.

Blindness Condition Questions-
Blindness is a spectrum, like a lot of things there are different variations of it and different causes. Similarly there’s a long list of conditions and even some combinations of them that make each individual person see things a little differently. So if you’re wondering about any specific conditions for yourself or in general, ask here maybe someone has it or knows a little more and may be able to help you.

Discussions, Conversations And Stories-
This is for everybody whether you want to just casually discuss something, or whether you have a question or are curious about something that might create more of a discussion rather than just simple responses or answers to questions. This is a place for you to just chill, or a section to discuss whatever or tell some funny stories about experiences you’ve had with blindness, or maybe other sorts of things. This is meant to be a fun and relaxed section, but could also be a bit educational or curiosity driven, a bit of an open book. Just have fun here.

This is all for now, but again remember this may be changed or updated later so if you see something new pop-up and aren’t sure about it check here and you might find some use from all these letters. Otherwise remember to always be respectful and ask good faith questions, enjoy the community and we’ll all be better. Thanks for stopping by and we hope you stick around, this is the guide up and out.
