"doesn't use the internet" - thats a lie, blind people can use the internet with all these tts programs, a lot of which are simple to configure and use
It says "doesn't use the internet", not "can't use the internet". Whilst the internet has become more accessible over time through the use of screen readers etc, accessibility is unfortunately not considered a priority for many apps and websites. It's trickier to navigate the web as a blind person because websites are primarily designed to be looked at, not heard. It's not unreasonable that she might just not want to use it, even though she could learn to.
What’d the parent comment say?
Did it break rules?
You can check the modlog. The reason given is "automod," which seems quite bizarre to me, especially given that there are no objectionable keywords in the comment, and that it was removed 2 hours after it was made.
"Blind" is ableist language, the preferred term is unsighted
