    I read the thread and I kind of cringed inside. I understand the moderators of r/blind want to keep the resources & information accessible but they actually tried to negotiate and sort it out with Reddit according to their words and Reddit just didn’t give a fuck about them. What I would’ve done is just nuke the sub and move to Lemmy yet they continue to eat shit from u/spez

    I feel for them.

      r/Blind is still a valuable resource for many people. No sense denying people access to it. r/Blind mods already created a Lemmy instance which they try to promote for their members. But learning new software can be challenging when you can’t see, especially if the software isn’t very accessible.

        That is a fair, I just hate to see the community abused like that and being held hostage by one VC schmuck who doesn’t understand that he’s basically killing his platform.

        r/Blind is still a valuable resource for Reddit to exploit many people, especially blind people.

      I’ve not looked for myself, but does Lemmy or Kbin have good, accessible tooling? They’re both much more modern so I would expect that it would be a priority, but they’re also much less mature so I wouldn’t be surprised if little in that way has been implemented yet.

        I genuinely have no idea, regardless, this Stockholm syndrome needs to stop. Understanding when you’re not welcomed is crucial to a community’s success.

        The frontend of Lemmy is an inferno app, which is a JS framework like react.

        I noticed that command enter didn’t submit comments, so I made both a userscript and then later opened a pull request fixing it. The pull request has already been merged, so should be coming to Lemmy soon.

        Back 13 years ago, I built the compact interface to reddit. Now, I’m a much better developer than I was then, but Lemmy front end seems a hell of a lot more organized

        As long the API is free, and anyone can whip up instance suited to their need, it’s only a matter of time and effort until a good mod tool is created

          Just pointing out that no reasonable person wanted the reddit API to be free, rather just a price that actually reflected the real cost to reddit.

            I consider myself pretty reasonable, and I wanted the API usage to stay free. They were already making money from all this advertising. Maybe if they hadn’t wasted time and resources on garbage features no one needed, they wouldn’t have had to create this mess.

            Honestly, considering the state of modern capitalism, someone at Reddit probably got scolded cuz some dickhead executive hadn’t been able to buy enough yachts this year or some shit.

        Rome wasn’t built in a day. We’re seeing in real-time solid apps pop into existence. The one I’m using right now was only released a few weeks ago. Sync is a big one that just released their app today, albeit under a “coming soon” tag.

        It’s pretty crazy what’s going on right now.

      they actually tried to negotiate and sort it out with Reddit according to their words and Reddit just didn’t give a fuck about them.

      More than that, during his AMA, spez actually said he was actively working with them. Fucking liar!

      This is following a predictable pattern:

      • Person/group reaches out to admins in good faith to discuss changes.

      • They don’t hear anything at all.

      • Reddit touts them as an example of how they’re working with people.

      • The admins get back to them.

      • They don’t listen or care about the concerns and aren’t going to change anything.
