Hi. My name is Haily Merry. My interests include, but are not limited to, gaming, listening to music, all things tech related, and politics.
This. I’m commenting from rblind.com, and yours is the only comment I’m seeing, pun not intended. I hadn’t really noticed this until now, I just assumed Lemmy wasn’t all that popular yet. I’m guessing I’d see no comments whatsoever if I wasn’t subscribed to communities on feddit.uk.
Pretty sure this is already a thing, or at least there’s precedent for companies being sued for inaccessible websites. I seem to remember a successful case involving Domino’s Pizza a few years ago, and I’ve heard elsewhere that retailers have been sued before. I’m not too familiar with US law though, so I could be wrong.
I didn’t know they’d joined. Do you have a source for this?
Nope. Not a chance. I have no love for giant corporations, and Reddit has always been particularly shit even by that standard. Say what you want about the evils of Meta / Google / Apple, ETC ETC ETC, but at least they generally try to keep their users happy, or at least using their platforms. Reddit just seem to have absolutely no idea what their users want half the time, Reddit premium anyone? The way they handled, or rather failed to handle, the accessibility issue also leaves a rather bitter taste in my mouth.
