I’m unaware of these features as I’m used to setting dark mode in each app but your overall comment reeks of ableism - I am neurodivergent, and I have to use my phone in dark mode. I had a TBI as a teenager leading to permanent light sensitivity and migraines and I’m also on the spectrum.
Also I’m banned from Instagram, so no, it’s not about priorities and even if it were, accessibility comes first.
i’m sorry you feel impinged on by me suggesting features that i and plenty of my neurodivergent or visually impaired acquaintances find to be helpful. features you admit you didn’t know about and might actually be helpful just as they have been for me.
you do not need to find them helpful because no accessibility system is perfect. but no need to call me ableist. that’s just fucking cringe. :( have a good one and maybe be nicer to people.
You chose to insult me by assuming my priorities and thinking my reference to being neurodivergent was sarcastic. Then when that is pointed out, you tone police me to be nicer? For using the word ableism, which is what you were engaging in? Do better.
And now you’ve edited your comment. So I look like the asshole, great.
I said “I can’t tell”; the exact opposite of assuming. And my edit was to apologize for my communicated confusion, a grace that I continue to extend to you: I apologize for not knowing if you were being sarcastic.
You don’t have to accept my apology but you can please stop harassing me about a mistake I corrected.
