Two IMO on-point excerpts of the article:

The highest-ranked replies are very critical of the post. “What good is our feedback when reddit seems perfectly happy to ignore all of it?” wrote one user. “What’s the point?” Another pointed out that Huffman called mods “landed gentry.” “Show, don’t tell,” wrote another user — to which the admin replied, “Agreed.”

“A beginning of what?” replied one user. “This solves nothing, and just wastes everybody’s time.”

Reddit’s administration is sounding more and more like an abusive SO trying to gaslight you into staying in the relationship. “Baby I’ll listen to you, I swear.”

    I hardly think that’s fair. They also completely underestimated the quality impact there would be on reddit from losing mod tools, and they’ve also had just about enough time to start to realize how very very much they don’t know about accessibility needs for the disabled.

      The fact they completely forgot about disabled users. I really don’t understand how that got past the lawyers.

        I mean personally I hadn’t though about blind users (which maybe says a lot about me) but I’m not a corporation it’s honestly baffling that reddit would forget too, and that nobody pointed out (or if they did they got shut down).

        It’s straight up insulting that once pointed out publicly, reddit didn’t immediately walk back its behaviour.
