Lol, the only blind people Reddit consulted was their leadership.

Reddit has been utterly uncommunicative with us ever since we refuse to join their accessibility feedback group. We have no idea if the folks working on accessibility are qualified to do so or if there is actual disabled leadership built into the process because no one in Reddit is actually talking to us at this point. In short, all of this is news to us.

Well seeing as this is the first we’re hearing of this… I expect some of my fellow mods will have more to add later on.

They have an internal memo directing them not to talk to /r/blind because they labeled the community hostile during the protests, and a number of its users had publicly known talks with attorneys.
