During one of the recent discussions with reddit (I've no idea which one, it may be linked in /r/bestof but I try not to give them traffic), the mods asked reddit a whole series of questions about their plans for accessibility, things like: does anyone at reddit have accessibility certifications and what are they? has anyone there ever done accessibility programming? is anyone involved in the accessibility support disabled in any way? have they talked with any disabled people to see what kind of support or devices they need? what kinds of devices is reddit planning to support, and are they specifically covering this set? do they plan to program to certain standards? etc, etc, etc.
If reddit was actually committed to providing decent accessibility support, they'd have answers for most of the questions. Instead, they had absolutely no idea what any of those things meant. Absolutely none of the points that got raised were things that reddit had even considered as something that needed to be addressed. And that's why everyone expects reddit's "accessibility tools" to fail miserably. It's not that they don't have home field advantage, or they're losing the game, or even that they're just making their way into the field; reddit doesn't even know what game they're fucking playing, much less have they even left their home city to eventually get to the field.
