The time for Reddit to make its app compatible with screen readers was when people using screen readers were still using the fucking app, lol.

Third party apps were being used because they were the only devs who cared enough to let the accessibility users play too, until Reddit was all aw hell no, ain’t havin that, and shut that down too.

Even as Spez et al were angrily insisting how concerned they were about accessibility out one side of their greedy little pigboy mouth, they were refusing to answer straight questions from the mods of r/blind out the other side of their greedy little pigboy mouth. Like they’d never lied before, heh.

Today is exactly that. Reddit has made these promises for years, and as of right now they are still just promises. Greedy little pigboy mouth has opened again, only to spew forth more vaporware.

But now r/Blind is now here on Lemmy, and anyone unable to use whatever broken and limited accessibility accommodation Reddit kludged together after July 1 has split.

But there’s an upside: now Reddit has all the time in the world to do all the accessibility accommodations they swore they’d do ten years ago.

Never change, Reddit. Never fucking change, lol.
