        The Deaf Community uses sign language which can only be captured and distributed as video. Many Deaf people did not have a good education, therefore their English is not at a level to be fluent. Their first language will be Sign Language. My first Language is Sign Language, but I am also fluent in English. I was privileged to be able to have a good education, thanks to my parents who supported me and made good choices for my educational needs.

        Now, back to the point about video in posts and comments. I would like to see an opportunity for a Sign Language instance. There may be funding to cover the cost of storage to allow this, but this can only be a reality of video can be implemented natively.

        Other instances can choose to turn this feature off? Let there be an option 👍
