They finally did it: Reddit made it impossible for blind Redditors to moderate their own sub

  • It is sad that the only time they are going to do something for disabled people is when they need to profit from them. They did nothing for them all this time; they were forced to use third party applications.

    • That's basically capitalism in a nutshell. Unless it is profitable it is not worth doing so throw the kids in the mines, rip down all the forests, harvest all the fish, and fuck those who aren't profitable.

      On a side note this is why it's rude to call it Asperger's Syndrome as the person it is named after argued for the nazis to kill their autistic children because they were just a burden on their parents and society as a whole.

  • I'm a person with the beginning stages of optic neuritis (due to multiple sclerosis). How in the hell could you overlook accessibility in 2023? My mind is blown.

    You don't care Reddit.

  • Saddest part is that Reddit corporate most likely didn't even consider the possibility of visually impaired moderators. Probably assumed by default that no one of any importance would have a disability, which is pretty standard for how persons with disabilities are perceived by society in general.

    • They didn't at first, and then when the issue was raised to them, they..... Went ahead with their plans anyway
