There are no words in the English language I could scream to drown you out

So I got home to discover the latest code push from Dreamwidth has effectively broken the site for me. I left a comment to that effect. It does not look as though my comment will make a difference.

I understand accessibility is complicated. This journal and DW in general was one of the few things in my life right now that did not cause me active pain. It was in fact rather sustaining. That has just sharply ceased to be the case. I have no idea what to do. I left LJ for DW. I had planned to stay here until they turned out the lights because I trusted them not to hurt me. Now my eyes hurt. I am a text-oriented person who cannot comfortably interact with the text-based form of social media which is very nearly the whole of my life online. There's nowhere to go from here. (I can't even think about the effects on my Patreon.) I am tired of being a person whose needs are disposable. I am very, very, very not happy.

[edit 2020-07-26 1:21:00] I have temporarily reverted to the old style because the alternative appears to be verging on a migraine. And perhaps in a year the horse will learn to sing.

If you always stuck to defaults, you might not have noticed this, but even the built-in styles are extremely customizable. I picked one with a decent layout and then set all my own colors, fonts, and screen-width percentages.

So, while you are reverted to the original version, it might be a good idea to go into your Settings > Journal Style > Customize Your Theme, go through the tabs down the left, and write down paper notes of your current color codes, font sizes, element sizes, etc. That way you'll be prepared to customize to your taste if needed.

Thank you. I had to sort of reinvent my journal style on LJ the last year before I left for good, but I don't think I ever explored my similar options on DW. I will make a point of getting this information.
