I try to avoid boosting anything that would be problematic for blind folks using screen readers — posts with no alt text, obviously, and posts with totally inadequate alt text ("landscape" and nothing else, for example.).

I also avoid posts with excess emoji (those clapping hands every other word, for example).

And everything with ASCII drawings, like the sign bunny.

But now I'm pondering one where the user name uses numerals instead of letters, twice. I would guess a screen reader would have no good way to handle this, and it would be annoying. Am I right?
