@Tony: Maybe I've just been lucky, but in my experience, most sighted people on the Internet are more than willing to try and explain graphical content to me if I ask nicely. Granted, I also avoid places like Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr like the plague and have done so since before I went blind as they seem to attract the dregs of human culture.
Well, to each his own I guess. I personally don't like social media and avoided it for years. However, that's where teens hang out. If you want to attract them to Linux, you have to go to them. One of the nicest people I ran into was on Facebook. They don't do email anymore. I've found ways to text in an accessible way (I'm the only one without a smartphone). As I've said before, I especially don't like tumblr, but that and snapchat seem to be where they hang out. I'm sure blind teens hang out in other places since tumblr is especially inaccessible, but I don't know where and haven't looked too much. I leave that to others who are younger and more experienced.
