I was new to lemmy and on a thread about apple speech to text. Made a comment about blind faith to a brand. Well after a few comments poking fun at mine I came to realize I was on a BLIND INSTANCE! No wonder there were such strong opinions about speech to text. After recovering from the initial horror of what I said, I explained what happened and apologized. We all had a good laugh and they invited me to stay and learn more about blind people which I did. Same name as this account but I think .world if you wanted to find the thread.
Mad props for apologizing and all. It's not easy sometimes, doing on the internet the same thing you would do in person -in this case make amends. Although come to think of it... in a room full of blind people, perhaps I would just have fled silently.
