Hello there editblr! My name's Jaxson and I wanted to give you all a quick reminder about online safety; no people are not exaggerating when they mention the internet is dangerous.
I've noticed (especially within this community) that a lot of people share incredibly personal information where anyone can access it. While I understand the want to show who you are, there is a line that has to be drawn to keep yourself safe.
REFRAIN FROM PUBLICLY SHARING:
-- ages (especially if you are under the age of 18.)
if you feel as though that is necessary to disclose, you can use an age range (ex; minor or 18+). But you are never required to share your age on your tumblr profile (or discord bio) where thousands of people can access it.
-- mental conditions (neurodiversity, mental illnesses, ect)
these are especially dangerous to share, as people can and will use it against you. your medical history is nobody's business and you have a right to remain private, and many people (myself included) encourage you to keep that information close to your chest.
( These two are especially highlighted due to how often I see them shared within the community, it shouldn't be something that's normalized or expected of people. )
-- other personal identifications (such as locations, face reveals, passwords, ect)
These are far less common, but a reminder never hurts.
While it may feel dishonest or shameful to keep this information private, the feeling is temporary compared to the long-term harm people can cause when given access. So please, for the love of goodness, protect yourself online and don't post this where EVERYONE and ANYONE can access.
Reblogs of this post are encouraged, and I really hope this helps people out. If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to ask in either the replies or my asks. Keep yourselves safe, and have fun being online.
(PS; if I miss-phrased something or am incorrect within my wording, please let me know!)
｡°⚠︎°｡ thought id share a very useful png sourcing website called wiki spy - it collages photos from wikipedia endlessly using keywords you type in. you can also refresh the homepage for random ones. ₊˚⊹ ᰔ
hey guys i just wanted to warn ppl that a pretty popular. editor is both a darkshipper and a zionist ( kokichi-is-missing ) i only found out abt this bc they requested tcoaal from my friend that has. problematic media on their blacklist so i simply. wanted to warn people incase they didn't know oky thx
My blog is not a safe place for people who send hate anons, I cannot tell who does this obviously, but i want to make it known that if you send hate anons you're truly the lowest of low and I will be treating you and ur entire existence like a joke 🤷♀️
As a native system (Cherokee) we don’t like seeing our language all over those aesthetic pages and wish to help inform others of these deserving to stay as they are, a language. While its less spoken than in the past both are still used. Hopefully non natives see this and want to learn more about how beautiful the native languages are and want to respect them.. thank you. 🤍
Note : This post is long , so all of it has been put under the cut. no worries everything below still has readable text :)
starting off on one of many posts regarding accessibility , im gonna be showing you how to use plain text in posts !
First we'll start with with what plain text is , which is simple : Plain text is text without effects. some effects on text can be Bold , Italic , Fonts , Symbols , Links , Typing quirks and Caps.
There are many ways to format plain text , some examples below can be show :
[Pt : Plain text example one /End Pt]
[Plain text start : Plain text example two /Plain text end]
[ Plain text : Plain text example three ]
Now the big question is why would you need to add this to a post ? well the answer is simple , often times the way that posts are formatted can make it hard to read. some people use screen readers to fix this ! however a screen reader cant always read whats on the screen. for example : Symbols and fonts can break screen readers and cause it to make a horrible noise. also for general use as some typing quirks are impossible to read without plain text.
Since the editing community is made for sharing edits and such , having text that's readable is already a good start. Ill show you some examples of things that need plain text
Bold header text
[Pt : Bold header text /End Pt]
Colored text
[Pt: Colored text /End pt]
Italic text
[Pt: Italic text /End pt]
CAPS TEXT
[Pt: Caps text /End Pt]
lastly Typing quirks , which i know a lot of users may use on editblr. however those posts too need plain text even the posts that aren't editing related. quirks that use numbers or replace letters with W's or otherwise cannot be read by screen readers , same with emoticons and kaomojis. Typing quirks are also not uncontrollable , replacing letters is intentional and not being able to provide plain text is ableist. regardless of aesthetic , being accessible is the best option when you are a public account that interacts with others.
also please consider that an aesthetic or theme is not more important than someones ability to read , this can go for tags too. it is very possible to keep an aesthetic while also keeping things simple and readable.
This post ( Link ) made by the user /rwuffles also shares examples and explains things very well , i recommend you read it too
