I meant “we” as in “all redditors”; unless you’ve been posting J. Oliver pics, you’re right, you’re not contributing to it. I’m very sorry if that was taken personally, that’s not how I meant it. You and I, discussing the situation here on KBin, aren’t trolling anyone. We’re expressing opinions and having a conversation. But a group of users are doing hurtful and troublesome things; and they’re being encouraged by others (including authority figures - mods) to continue doing those things and making the site worse.
As far as why I would prefer Reddit survive, it’s a combination of
comfortable UI/UX,
community scale,
SERP access
And just my general experience with the site and the subreddits.
Those who were banned or demoted, I’d need to know the particulars.
As far as the accessibility side, I do use screen-reading tech more often than not; and I use RedReader from F-Droid on both of my Android devices. I have visual disabilities. Over time, I’ve come to accept the essential fact of disability accommodation - companies weigh costs; if accessibility has immediate costs without immediate benefit and any “consequence” is less severe than the cost of implementation, then accessibility measures will not be taken at any time.

Gotcha. Glad we got that misunderstanding cleared up.

Yeah, it’s a form of civil disorder. We should keep in mind they aren’t doing this because they enjoy causing trouble, but because they feel that basically this is their only way to be heard.

That’s why I gave links. But would agree it’s reasonable to consider this on a case-by-case basis.

I guess I should be grateful that I live in a country where things like this are considered a human right. The semi-galling fact about this in reddit’s case is that others stepped in to fill that accessibility gap, and reddit basically didn’t care and chucked them out the window.
I say semi as reddit does deserve credit for allowing Red Reader et al to survive.

Reasonable, but if reddit goes then something else will rise to replace it. I never used digg but apparently it used to lead on all three of these points, until digg shot itself in the foot and refused to listen to the community - giving the chance for reddit to surplant it.

But apparently the only good third party apps with accessible mod tools are going. Here’s a recent experience of someone trying to use the builtin mod tools on the official reddit app and giving up in frustration, https://teddit.adminforge.de/r/ModSupport/comments/14jkqiy/this_is_the_current_experience_moderating_on/

Hey, deja vu?
