It would almost certainly be a community with very few if not zero active posters, and there’s already a few relevant communities on .world, and nothing’s stopping people from posting d/Deaf or HoH-related content on other communities… But even keeping all that in mind, I still think having a /c/deaf would be nice anyways.
The community could also be called /c/dhoh or something else entirely, it depends on what people prefer.
I’m not sure what I’d post on there but i just had my first hearing test in which i am technically hard of hearing (and in no way claiming to be deaf or disabled by it) and i have had tinnitus since childhood so you have one potential poster
Hell yeah brother
I’ve had bouts of hearing loss for a while now along with tinnitus and would be interested in this as well.
Regardless of how many users it would get, I support the idea. Might encourage more discussion on accessibility, too.
Are you volunteering to moderate the community?
It would probably be best to find someone who’s actually Deaf to moderate it. If no-one can be found, I will consider the position.
How does this process work, anyways? I take it that this request has enough upbears to be seriously considered for creation, so is it now like during the next mod drive there’s going to be a section for people who want to moderate /c/deaf, and then after that the community will be created?
Once someone volunteers to moderate it I’ll send a mod application and when it’s filled out I’ll create the community
One of the only subreddits I still pop in on sometimes is /r/asl since I’m still trying to develop proficiency with it, so I think it would be great to see a comm like this
c/canyouhearit?
