View submission: Update on Reddit’s Plans for Moderation Accessibility

I have to wonder who their accessibility auditing company is. Reputability can be so hit or miss and doesn’t always have blind voices depending on the company. I wonder if it would be worth trying to push them toward engaging with a reputable team of accessibility specialists endorsed by blind people themselves with blind staff so we know it’s being audited effectively. Maybe something like CENA (the center for excellence in nonvisual access).

During a call on Friday, 6/16, Reddit refused to disclose which company performed their audit or what assistive technologies were used during the tests, so we're unsure if Reddit is aware of the scores of accessibility failings in their apps/website or their severity. If you'd like more info, here's a post which further details that meeting:
