Georgiana Brummell*Please only add me if you're over twenty-one. Since the Bio field has such a short character limit, consider this to be my profile/biography. I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), loneliness, bad self-esteem, or anxiety/depression, and will not add those who do so often. The same is true of those who feel it necessary to use obscenities. I am not a modern programmer or gamer, I do not use Linux, and I don't care what social network you use.* Hello. Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century English grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, the Italian language, British history, the Regency, opera, and MS-DOS and its current varients. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, classic literature, nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera, particularly singers from the 1940's and earlier, with Tito Schipa, Beniamino Gigli, Ferruccio Tagliavini, and Mattia Battistini being my favourite singers. I also enjoy English and Viennese operettas. In classical music, I like Baroque through early Romantic. I prefer antique menswear (usually Edwardian) and accessories. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity, though I do enjoy adult fun. I am happily childfree and am not religious. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am also single and searching. If you are a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man over sixty, please write to me. I will accept platonic friends twenty-one and older.This is my journal.

Georgiana BrummellI just wrote a huge entry about the Fediverse here. It is a guide with all sorts of tips and explanations, and links to many useful pages. Please feel free to share it with anyone who may be interested in joining. Note, though, that I am not the type to care if you're on a mainstream platform or not. Thi sis just meant as a guide for those who may need it, not as a way of bashing those who use non-Fediverse platforms. As a side note, Dreamwidth is one of my favourite sites on the Internet, precisely because of its wonderful accessibility.<a href="https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/248988.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/248…</a>If you would rather read it on Reddit, here is the same post there.<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/BlindAndFine/comments/1le5jqv/fediverse_explanations_and_guides/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">reddit.com/r/BlindAndFine/comm…</a><a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Akkoma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Akkoma</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blind</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Dreamwidth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dreamwidth</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Friendica</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=guide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guide</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=IOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IOS</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MacOS</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Reddit</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#technology</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=tips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tips</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=TWBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TWBlue</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=TweeseCake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TweeseCake</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a>

Georgiana BrummellI am unable to view or even edit my sent posts in TweeseCake with Blob.cat! I have no idea why. Maybe, it's different enough from Mastodon (the actual network that TweeseCake is meant to work with) that it won't allow me to do it. Sometimes, I honestly have half a mind to just give up all social networking accept Dreamwidth, because it's the only place that is completely accessible. I don't have to beg developers to make things screenreader-friendly, or hope it will work with this client or that website because I can't do x on the main one, or that y feature that worked on one site will be accessible on the next one. It just works. Say what you like about Facebook, but the Basic Mobile site (not app) worked. I hardly had any problem with it. Then, they closed it, and I left because their main site is a nightmare to work with. Now, I'm in the Fediverse, feeling as if I'm using the main Facebook site all over again!I don't blame the administrators of friendica.world or blob.cat. It's not their fault. They're just working with what they have. Both are wonderful human beings who have been very kind to me. It's not even the fault of the developers of both sites. It makes sense, when you're a small business or a single developer, not to know about things such as accessibility. I just wish more people would learn and/or write things in semantic html or offer some kind of text-only or basic version of their site. I know that Deque University and Geeks4Geeks teach accessibility and teach html with accessibility included, respectively, but I guess other sites and books don't. As for TweeseCake, this is an excellent client for the blind that works well with Friendica and probably even better with Mastodon. But again, it's by a single developer. While changes are coming, people do have lives and other committments, and one person can't be expected to work as quickly as a huge company.By the way, my Dreamwidth account is here.

Georgiana BrummellI tried to post this to the Friendica support forum, but it kept timing out when I entered my information. I am now attempting to subscribe to their e-mail list. However, I thought I would write this here so that those who know coding, etc. might be able to offer a solution, or at least, to pass this on to the developers.I joined Friendica in October of 2024, when Facebook decided to shut down their Basic Mobile site (not app). I am totally blind, and their main page is a nightmare to use with a screen readre (NVDA in my case). I chose Friendica because of the huge character limit, the ability to edit and delete posts, local posting, extensive profiles with keywords, and the ability to connect with all sorts of accounts in the Fediverse. For the most part, I am enjoying my time here. However, I am noticing a lot of inaccessibility on the Friendica page. I am not a programmer, but I'm guessing this is at the core of the software and is not due to the instance I'm using (friendica.world). I am also guessing that the page is not written in HTML5 and does not follow WCAG guidelines, though I may be wrong about that. If not, I strongly urge the developers to review them and implement them if possible. If so, perhaps, some changes can still be made that would make this a more screen reader-friendly site. Note that I tried this with Firefox and Supermium (a direct fork of Chrome).Mostly, I use TweeseCake to access the site, but there are some things I can't do with that client. All of the following refer to the site itself.<ol><li>There is a list of links at the top of the page that acts like a menu. This causes many problems while trying to perform basic tasks, particularly editing posts and handling notifications. I can't always activate said links/menu either.</li></ol>1A. I can't stress how frustrating editing posts is. It sometimes takes over ten minutes. The "edit" option is a link/menu, and it can only be found via another menu. Once I finally find and activate it, I hear the sound indicating that I have entered focus Mode. Usually, this means that I am in an edit box and can type. However, in this case, I am taken back to the main page, as if I never entered the option to edit my post. Using e to try to find an edit box doesn't help, as it just sends me to the replies to different comments. So I am forced to find the post, and start all over again. The only way I can do this successfully is to try to tab through the links/menu at the top of the page (when it works), then through other posts, until, finally, I am placed in an edit box where I can type.1B. When I go to the Notifications" link, I have to tab to "Mark all System Notifications as Seen". This isn't even a regular link, as I can't copy and paste the text from it. Once I tab to and out of that, I can then read my notifications. But here is what I have to do if I want to see follow requests. 1. Try to get the notifications link to work, then click on it. 2. Tab to marking notifications. 3. Perform a search for the word follow. 4. Click on the link of the notification that someone wants to follow me. I open this in a new window, to try to keep the original one available. 5. Make my choice as to whether to approve that notification, then close that window. 6. Return to the main window. Only now, I am not where I left off. Instead, I am placed back at the beginning of the page and the Notifications menu is not open. 7. Repeat steps 1 through 3. Ideally, I should be able to go to a normal notifications link, perform steps 3 through 5, then return back to the link, and perform steps 3 through 5 again, as many times as necessary, without having to repeat 1 through 3.<ol><li>I can't just go to the site and enter an edit box to post. I must go through a menu to find the link to do so. Yet there is an edit box for searching for content, tags, etc.</li><li>Some pinned posts don't always read properly. I can see my name, when I posted, that it's pinned, a public message, tags (if applicable), buttons for resharing, etc., and the number of comments. But I cannot simply read the post itself. ""Comments" is also a button, not a link. Even when I expand them, I still can't see my post, and finding the button again to close them takes a lot of time, as posts also have their own buttons. Note that unpinned posts are read properly.</li><li>While the process of editing my profile is completely accessible, finding the edit option might be slightly confusing for new users, as it requires entering yet another link/menu, this time with the user name as the title..</li><li>If I go to a profile of someone not on Friendica (usually Mastodon) and wish to reply to a post, after I enter my credentials, it takes me back to my profile, not to the relevant post.

Georgiana BrummellHas everyone except Dreamwidth and the makers of TweeseCake forgotten how to make an edit page/option that is actually easy to use? It's an absolute mess on the Friendica page itself, so that it could take me up to ten minutes just to be able to edit a post, and Enafore, which is supposed to be an improvement on Semafore has an edit page that is completely inaccessible with NVDA. It just says "Dialogue". Whatever happened to choosing "edit" and having a normal page open, with edit boxes, combo boxes, and a "save" button? See Dreamwidth's page for a perfect example of this, both for creating and editing posts.<a href="https://www.dreamwidth.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">dreamwidth.org/</a>TweeseCake also works wonderfully, but it only allows you to go back so far in your own posts. There is no way to enter a link and have TweeseCake open it.<a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=annoying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#annoying</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blind</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Dreamwidth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dreamwidth</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=editing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#editing</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=editingposts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#editingposts</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Enafore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Enafore</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#friendica</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=frustrating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#frustrating</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=NVDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NVDA</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=posting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#posting</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Semafore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Semafore</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#technology</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=TweeseCake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TweeseCake</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Tweesecake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tweesecake</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a>

Georgiana BrummellHello. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app). I live in New Jersey and am forty years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Received Pronunciation, and the Regency. I like coffees, teas, and nasal snuffs, and enjoy cooking, reading, nature and historical documentaries, and gardening. I like Baroque through Classical and a bit of early Romantic music. I love theatre (mostly English and Viennese operettas, and some Regency/Georgian plays). I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.I am happily childfree and am not religious. I respect those who are, as long as they don't try to convert me, or base their lives around it. The same is true of vegans. I also have no time for mind games, drama, or political correctness/sugar coating, and I hardly ever write about politics. I tend to get along better with people older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I don't have any understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, loneliness, etc. so if you need someone who could help you through those on a personal level, I'm not the one for that. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, antiques, and interesting life stories.For those who would like to know more about me, this is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member. Almost all entries are clean. Anything adult-oriented is always marked as such and is put behind a cut. If you're a straight or bisexual, childfree man, preferably over sixty (forty at the absolute youngest) and are single, you may be interested in my dating post, (link in the About Me post near top of page).dandylover1.dreamwidth.org <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=antiquemensware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#antiquemensware</a> <a

Georgiana BrummellThis is truly ridiculous. In order to post here, I have to use Semaphore, TWBlue or Pachli, because I can't figure out how to do it on the main site. I know I did it a few times, but it's very difficult to find and is not available as and immediate edit box. In order to read my own posts, I have to go to the main site or Pachli, because I can't do it on Semaphore or TWBlue. (Note. I figured out how to red them but can't reply on Semaphore, since there is no edit box.) So I basically have to use several sites plus an app (I almost never use apps for any websites) just to be able to use Friendica. I specifically left Facebook due to inaccessibility! Even with this mess, it's still not as horrible as there, but It would be nice to have one site where I could do it all, like on Dreamwidth, or at least one Windows client that would allow me to do everything, without having to resort to using my phone! Tweesecake was nice the few times it worked, but now, no matter what I do, I can't even get it to load. It says something about configuring and then disappears! Enafore is supposed to allow me to edit my posts, but I have no idea how to do that since there is no normal edit link or button, and half the time, when I go to my page, the edit box for me to type in isn't even there! Semaphore inserts rubbish when I'm trying to write tags, so that I have to write everything in Notepad and paste it in.<a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=apps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#apps</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blind</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=clients" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#clients</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Dreamwidth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dreamwidth</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Facebook</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#friendica</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=twblue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twblue</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Tweesecake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tweesecake</a> <a href="https://friendica.world/search?tag=Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a>

fit check for my napalm eratrying to use Dreamwidth for a thing. apparently they've never seen a phone in the hundred years since forking off LJ, and all the controls are tiny and i hate it. is there a way to fix this on iOS (Safari or otherwise) that doesn't involve writing my own client<a href="https://princess.industries/tags/dreamwidth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dreamwidth</a>
