One last thing. Phone screen reader users navigate via gestures, so it's still not actually a matter of clicking tge buttons. You can click the buttons, but gesture navigation is better as it doesn't require any remaining residual vision. Same principle as keyboard navigation for pc screen reader users. (There are alternative methods to navigate a pc for the blind, but none of these alternatives will involve a mouse for those who cannot touch type!)
Exactly. This is not an actual screenreader use, it's just trolling and dragging in screenreaders into it (probably because AnpuRa saw the post about screen reader accessibility), because they certainly aren't acting like they actually use one. Knowing which screen reader you're using is about as basic as knowing what OS you have, and they failed to describe a method of usage they would have learned if they actually needed it.
Thanks for all this explanation, tbh I've never used a screen reader so I wasn't quite sure about their actual issues but this sort of confirms my assumption that they are being stupid on purpose to get a reaction from people.

Seriously though, they are a troll and I would not engage with them. Just block and move on - they do this on purpose.
