If you:

* Experienced a mild photosensitive reaction to the changes in the last code push (however you define 'mild');
* Do not currently have any userstyle or custom CSS applied to dreamwidth.org and did not have a reaction to the version of the entry/comment page that was live on the site before the code push;
* Are technically comfortable installing and/or using Stylus/Stylish userscripts;
* Are willing to possibly get a headache For Science if our changes didn't work (and then disable things as soon as you realize you are, of course):

-- then please chime in here! We have a few things we'd like to A/B test with a wider pool of people who are more susceptible to some of the triggers in the last set of changes than our photosensitive alpha testers are, but we don't want to put things in front of people who had the more moderate or severe reactions until we have a bit more confidence.

I have no photosensitive issues that I'm aware of but I want to say that your instant response to what people reported and your all-around superhero attempts to make DW usable for absolutely everyone, along with your commitment to keeping it ad-free, are what brought me to DW in the first place and why I don't intend leaving any time soon. I don't think I know of another social media site that's so open to letting it's userbase know what's going on. Thank you, [staff profile] denise and [staff profile] mark and everyone else on the DW dev team!
