    Are they not still in violation of accessibility laws though?

    The existence of a competent third-party solution does not negate the fact that they don’t have accessibility features in their product.

      They just haven’t been sued over it (afaik) yet because blind people have found other solutions. Reddit is so far behind in accessibility compared to other social media- the official app doesn’t have:

      • Any way to add alt text on images
      • Accessible moderation tools
      • Aria labels on the upvote and downvote buttons, the most basic feature of the site

      It’s actually incredible how little thought was put into the redesign and the official app.
