View submission: What We’re Working on in 2024
FYI for blind people, the new new Reddit is pretty bad. It's constantly popping open user profiles and sub info for reasons unknown to me, and I can no longer see which level a comment is at in a thread—for instance, I can't tell if a comment is top-level or if its a reply to a reply to a reply, because I just don't have access to that indent information. The j and k keys also don't seem to work for moving between comments the way they did on the previous new Reddit. You guys are doing a really good job demonstrating that you're not equipped to take on the task of making accessible products the way your third-party developers were doing for you. You are now forcing those developers to do their work for free, by not allowing them to make any money from their apps. Apollo was so close to being accessible and I was even in talks with the developer to help him improve the accessibility, and then you just wrecking-balled the shit out of it. I'm really happy about the work being done in the iOS Reddit app, but there are still huge sections that are unusable, like chat. Basically,, what I'm saying is that you have totally left blind users behind, again and again, and it's great that you *want* to make everything accessible but you've just rolled out a far less accessible website and don't seem to be aware you've done so,. You are fully aware that there's a reason all the top comments here are complaints, right? Reddit didn't used to be like this. Look at my account., I was here.
There's nothing here!
