Interesting, I don't think I ever thought about it that way.
I don't recall changing behavior as a blind person was walking by, but I could see myself intentionally being quieter to make it easier for them to concentrate on the data they're getting from the cane ... or something.
I'm not sure. Either way, I'll make sure that in the future, I make sure I don't do that and make a bit of noise if I was already being silent.
Thanks for the tips!
Also -- you said the post was an exercise in testing your screen reader against the Fediverse to see how it works out ... what were your results?
From my sighted perspective, it looks like a post that someone intentionally put some effort into with headers at different sizes, quotes and some bullet points, so, from this end it looks like a success!
