Life events kept me almost completely away from the Internet, let alone Read It (intentionally misspelled), for a few months. When I was able to come back (on June 16th) the first place I tried to go was r/Blind only to find it, along with a lot of other subs dark.
A simple search told me what was going on and the spezanotor's responses over the following days failed to inspire confidence that things would get better (to be fair I rarely have confidence in the Powers That Be, whoever they may be...it is in my name for a reason after all) so my own account went dark and I started looking for alternatives. I was just starting to think I was going to have to build something myself when I found what you all were putting together here (thankfully, because anything I build tends to be utilitarian and ugly).
Your post is exactly why I am here and my Reddit account remains dark.
BTW: Thank you for linking the web archive (wayback machine) snapshot of the original post. With the way Read It has been doing things there's no telling how long the original will be allowed to remain.
Honestly wasn’t sure if it would’ve, as I never really interacted with many subs, but I wanna change that here
