If you're not able to read, put the effort into learning. Expecting someone to pick up skill that is common might be ableist, in that you are judging someone on what they are unable to do, so just become able to do the thing. In that sense, it's a moral good to be ableist -- you're saying you should judge someone for not being able to do something they're fully capable of doing.
And yeah, maybe some people are blind or they're really stupid (I mean, they are on bluesky so that second one is definitely an option) and that's the case then I should recommend that you get over yourself -- obviously nobody expects you to read, the message to read isn't aimed at you.
You could qualify any post with a giant disclaimer "of course people who are physically, neurologically, emotionally, or sociostructurally unable to read get a pass" but if the argument is that some people are unable to read, who are you writing the message for? People who can read?
