I am not a developer, but I watched Spez screw over the blind moderators of r/blind by cutting off the accessible third party apps without implementing that functionality within the reddit app. I really appreciated what I could understand from this article and thought it might be worth posting.
I'm a Drupal developer but have rarely been involved in the accessibility aspects, so it's both nice to see it come up, and really cool to read more about the specifics. Thanks!

I can say this is how IBM has treated accessibility defects for at least 4 years. You can see it in action in the Carbon React library on Github, which is heavily used internally, and I'll testify that in our internal bug tracking tool (RTC) , accessibility problems are defects.
We have testers who run JAWS on modified pages to ensure that it's not been broken, and are required to run the IBM Equal Access Accessibility Checker (available free to the public) and correct any violations as part of our Definition of Done for an epic.
This should be the standard for more companies, really any tech company with more than a few dozen developers.

Yeah he only spared RedReader because he knew that he was incredibly fucked under the ADA and other laws if he killed it.
Sadly Red Reader offers functionality for users but not sufficient for moderators unless it has changed very recently. https://www.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/14nzwkm/they_finally_did_it_reddit_made_it_impossible_for/
