    I assume that’s because their goal is to outline why third-party apps won’t be needed. The whole point of this drama is that Reddit wants to get rid of the third-party apps, so they are going to do everything to try to convince people why not having them will be fine.

      Yeah them bringing up disabilities, I have a feeling we’re going to see some half-ass disability fixes come in in the next week. Let’s see them get through a full ADA audit (as a software dev who has done that it suuuuuuuucks. It’s needed, but we’re talking months of work

        Maybe there will be a bit of empathy after all. Anyone who’s tried to use the official reddit app got a taste of what it’s like to have a disability /s

          Okay for real, the amount of people who just do not give one single shit about disabled folks has been disgusting. Fine, you (other redditors) want to make fun of us ‘nerds’ who have been using reddit for 12 years? Fine. Not seeing the big deal about ADA compliance is a different thing altogether.

          It’s like Microsoft removing text to speech on Windows, or Playstation banning specialized controllers.

            I had a disabled roommate for three years. We were best friends, and I eventually got comfortable enough to joke about it with him. No offense was intended. I was only joking about how terrible the reddit app is.

              Oh you misunderstand, I mean in my conversations on Reddit! Just pure vitriol from people over there saying anyone who uses 3rd party apps are stupid/neckbeards/whatever. Lol you’re good, it’s those people I’m annoyed at

                  Literally no one cares, stfu

                  k, I’ll just go fuck myself then, reddit asshole
