This is the social network’s second update rollout for the logged-out experience this year. In March, it made the pages screen reader friendly along with making the webpages cleaner.
First, no it didn’t. Second, how much if this is copied and pasted from their PR team? Lastly, what is this 80 Accessibility score on the new homepage.
Both Reddit and Techcrunch need to do better.
Also >4s LCP, lol performance
80 accessibility score
ok, is r/blind still moderated solely by sighted people?
If this post from @main@rblind.com 8 days ago is still up to date, I would assume that it has to be. Unless they’ve found someone who has enough vision to get around the AT issues they list in there.
So, probably?
80 Accessibility score on the new homepage.
It’s worth pointing out that score of 80/100 is the result of an automated scan, which currently can catch no more than 40% of all potential accessibility issues. The remaining 60% (it’s likely higher than this btw) can only be detected manually using a screen reader and keyboard only (for keyboard accessibility, as some people are able to use only the keyboard). So backing up what you said, the accessibility problem with Reddit is much worse than is being reported.
Both Reddit and Techcrunch need to do better.
They do, and the way they continue to mistreat their disabled users, even after meeting with them to discuss these issues, indicates they don’t care.
