If you are willing to chat, we’ll be reaching out to you and other moderators interested in this topic today, to set up a meeting in which we can share our current plans and discover if there are use cases we haven’t accounted for.

I'm sorry, what? You're a multi-million company running a website and you need to get some unpaid volunteers on a VOIP call to tell you how to make your site accessible to blind people?

This is mindboggling. Hire an accessibility consultant (*you don't have one yet!?*) like any other web dev company that is not too high on sniffing their own farts. It's a real, paid job title you'll find on any social media (like "moderator"...).

And you know, all those third party apps you are killing off already had that accessibility part all figured out. The sole reason people were accepting your site being not accessible was because they had alternatives, but you've chosen to take those away. You take a massive dump on people's work and yet expect us to come to your aid to fix your problems for free? This is all your own doing and you're acting in bad faith, plain and simple.
