Just wanted to pop in uninvited from your comment. While reddit's commercial behaviour has shat all over now decades of community dedication and efforts, it is an absolute travesty that accessibility is being treated as just another layer of that malevolence.
In my mind, the dismissal, disregard and damage cast towards accessibility by itself should be enough to have caused this internet wide uproar and protest. It is utterly detestable, in Europe it violates a plethora even decades of laws to make the internet accessible.
If any "good" resolution comes out of this, it shouldn't be that communities like yours just so happen to have been protected, but that they are front and centre.
So much focus placed on mod tools (which are incredibly important), and reddit has responded by saying pushshift will have exceptions just for mods. Reddit should be resolving any and all accessibility issues before placating self-serving concerns.
