A Reddit transcription community will shut down over a 'lack of trust' in the platform

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I'm sorry, what?
Old Reddit is more accessible than new Reddit for instance, from what I've read.
On iOS the official app doesn't even have up/down vote buttons labeled properly.
They're whitelisting a few apps only, that they've identified as assisting disabled access, but those apps are lacking in moderation tools.
They've met with some of the r/blind team, but only to TELL them how things are going to be, rather than to get their actual input on the situation and are currently refusing to even define what an accessible app would include.
At some point, it stops being ignorance and starts becoming malicious. At the very least, u/spez just doesn't care, at the worst he seems to almost actively want them gone, but doesn't want to deal with the PR fallout
Ah, the "if we don't have any vision impaired users anymore, we can save money on implementing accessibility; they won't give us ad revenue anyway" gambit.
