@nazokiyoubinbou @weirdwriter You are giving off the impression that you are trivializing the issue, because you chose to post your "general rant" in response to someone speaking about a personal experience, as if to imply that the personal experience is of less importance than your rant. If it's meant as a "general rant", then why didn't you post it as your own post on your own timeline instead?

Telling someone "it isn't that bad" also isn't helpful. They *live* this experience and so it is vanishingly unlikely that you will have anything useful to add to it, or that your understanding of the situation is better than theirs. Sometimes it is better to just not comment.

If you want to be helpful, then you could offer something along the lines of "do you want me to push for better accessibility for you in projects, or help find something that works better for you?", to take some of the work off their shoulders. What you're doing now is just being defensive and basically invalidating someone's experience while you have zero skin in the game yourself.

In short, what you're doing here is what people are talking about when they complain about "reply guys". Don't do that.
