Back when reddit premium was a thing I was quite happy to sub to that to pay towards costs, and make use of the benefits like X gold to give people per month and increased sub limits etc

Then they messed about with all that and I dropped my sub …

And I haven’t been back since the protests started so 🤷‍♀️

Prepare for a rabbit hole… but this ought to get you started…

I think it also important to note that it wasn’t just the pricing itself, which was indeed already heinous, but that the rate calculation changed. It used to be a rate per user per app (apikey+oauth) but they changed that to just the per app … that then has a multiplicative effect on the costs and makes the “free tier” they were talking about especially pointless…

It would be easy for an app to start at free tier … not have much growth through word of mouth but enough given the per app rates to push it over boundary points … and then be due a significant and unavoidable invoice in a couple of months…

It’s not an area I specialise in… but a quick look around seemed to show https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/s/certified-professional-web-accessibility as a good starting place?

They’re are specific accessibility standards that have been work on in various arenas over the years. For example: https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/

Aligned with this there are specific courses and certifications various languages might have associated with them, for example https://www.digitallearninginstitute.com/courses/professional-certificate-in-accessibility-and-universal-design/ or https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/s/certified-professional-web-accessibility

If you’re going to factor in the need for accessibility in your application its far better to have someone experienced in the issues up front, and certification can help with that, then to try and retrofit things later.

Have popped into ModCoord a couple of times to check on the state of things… but haven’t been in any of my usual subs.

Need to start subscribing to specific communities here soon but for now enjoying the mix that is all/(active|hot) 😀

Although we’re no longer under the higher level EU legislation, the entirety of it was incorporated into an updated DPA during the Brexit reconciliation process.

So you could still go through the same process… and frankly Reddit won’t really know whether they need to act by it so go ahead…

Waiting on them to fulfil my GDPR data request.

One I’ve got all my data (since there was some useful stuff there over the years) I’ll follow up with the “right to be forgotten” request as well.

Jerboa is definitely a little rough at present with how early the work is on it… it’ll be great to have different options!
