hey everyone, a polite reminder to remove the fancy fonts from your name & bio if you still have them!! the non-sighted people in our community have trouble reading them, because screenreaders read out a bunch of numbers & sums instead of actual words!!
I changed mine just a few months ago when I learned, so it's okay if you didn't know!! just be sure to change them now. 💛

i'd also like to add that these fonts are just difficult to read in general!! especially for the dyslexic people in our community. please make your profiles accessible for everyone đŸ€— accessibility over aesthetic!
the best thing to do if you're not sure about your fonts/symbols, is to just remove/change them. of course feel free to ask below and see if anyone can give you the information you need!! but try to stick to the usual keyboard & emojis as best as you can, just to be safe. â˜ș
I can not believe the amount of people who are liking/retweeting this, who have fonts in their name or bio, and aren't changing them. I've seen a lot of people do it, which I'm so so happy and thankful for, but so many don't even seem to realise??
