  • If none of the 6 users are blind or been asking for accommodations, I think you’re good. But the blind community literally put Reddit on notice that, if 3rd party apps are forced to shutter and the official app doesn’t have accommodations, then the blind won’t be able to continue to use the site.

    This seems like a cut and dried case to me. Reddit should not have forced out the 3PA until they had a plan to handle the disabled users. Instead, they figuratively gave the blind the finger and went ahead full speed, KNOWING (because the blind users had already put them on notice) that Reddit was going to be unusable for this group. This seems like textbook discrimination.
