at this point there is no "walking it back" for many unless spez and a number of employees are removed and replaced. Even then, i dont think I can ever trust the org. At the end of the day thier objectives re:IPO put thier goals in direct contravention of what reddit is or was.

The site simply is no longer able to function as it was, and there is really no way to fix that. They may have simply handed thier business to meta without getting meta to buy them out.

During one of the recent discussions with reddit (I've no idea which one, it may be linked in /r/bestof but I try not to give them traffic), the mods asked reddit a whole series of questions about their plans for accessibility, things like: does anyone at reddit have accessibility certifications and what are they? has anyone there ever done accessibility programming? is anyone involved in the accessibility support disabled in any way? have they talked with any disabled people to see what kind of support or devices they need? what kinds of devices is reddit planning to support, and are they specifically covering this set? do they plan to program to certain standards? etc, etc, etc.

If reddit was actually committed to providing decent accessibility support, they'd have answers for most of the questions. Instead, they had absolutely no idea what any of those things meant. Absolutely none of the points that got raised were things that reddit had even considered as something that needed to be addressed. And that's why everyone expects reddit's "accessibility tools" to fail miserably. It's not that they don't have home field advantage, or they're losing the game, or even that they're just making their way into the field; reddit doesn't even know what game they're fucking playing, much less have they even left their home city to eventually get to the field.

too little, too late.

Right. Coming soon. For arbitrary values of soon. And definitely after the API cutoff.

I would not recommend holding your breath.

"upgrades" "soon"

Anything to say about the timing of this announcement, Reddit? Goons.

App. Singular. They killed off everything else, remember Verge?

Reddit is ProCSS

Yeah, and they also said "the API isn't going anywhere". Liars and cowards...

Hey Mods, when are you going to rename this community to /c/TheLatestRedditNews as that's all that seems to get posted here?

I mean it's not like there aren't literally DOZENS of communities dedicated to whatever the latest crap reddit is up to so it needs to keep clogging up this community.

Too little.

Too late.

All together now "Too little, too late"
