The whole Reddit issue aside, my understanding is that it’s also the case that kbin and lemmy are not really at the point where the blind can readily use and moderate the systems. I would wager that they will get there, but I think that it would be more-effective to criticize Reddit after the Fediverse is doing what Reddit is not.
I would say there’s a large difference between a corporation actively removing accessibility options a community has come to rely on, and an open source community project that is building to have all the features needed to host everyone comfortably. We don’t need to criticize reddit in the context of its alternatives, because we can validly compare it to reddit in May.

Also make for better stories for the media.
