Fortunately, below that was another person‘s reply clearly stating that they‘ll look into it and thanking me for the bug report. But when I first read this, it hurt. This blunt display of sighted privilege „defining“ what a bug is and what not, really hurt.Permalink On twitter.com

To be clear, I know from past experience that the Discourse community is not a toxic environment like that in general. This person is not representative of that community, and the other reply below also made that very clear. That‘s why I didn‘t reply at all on the forum.Permalink On twitter.com
