Reddit's Recently Announced API Changes, and the future of /r/blind
One of the comments:<p><i>Yes, modding is where the biggest problems are. When moderating, most of the buttons are unlabeled. It would be quite easy to delete a comment when I meant to lock a thread or whatever, if I forget the exact order I&#x27;ve memorized for the buttons. And adding stuff to sidebars or changing the layout of the sub isn&#x27;t really possible at all. There are also a lot of dialogues, alerts, etc, that pop up without getting focus. There&#x27;s also a lack of headings, landmarks, or other mark-up in modmail, making it slow and difficult to use. This stuff really matters when you&#x27;re helping mod a sub with thousands of users. If all you&#x27;re doing is reading, and leaving the occasional comment, it&#x27;s...fine. Not good, but fine.</i><p>----<p>It&#x27;s important for a sub for disabled individuals to have mods with that disability.<p>I didn&#x27;t care about this protest and haven&#x27;t much followed articles and such about it, but this feels like a kick in the gut. People with disabilities can have their lives substantially enhanced by the internet,  <i>if</i> accessibility isn&#x27;t a bar to them connecting with people, finding info they need, taking actions online (like bill paying), etc.<p>I hope this gets satisfactorily resolved for blind users of Reddit.  Ugh.
