Also fuck those of us who are visually impaired but not blind because I bet their definition of 'accessibility needs' is going to result in a Reddit so limited it's useless to those who need anything other than text only.
I'm visually impaired (on the mild side) and I have a lot of neuro-visual issues. I have a lot of problems with visual crowding, visual sensitivity to stimuli (bright colors, movement, etc.), and have ~ 20/50 vision when corrected. (Or 20/80ish in my glasses at night time which is also when I use Reddit). I use third party apps because I need a lot of their 'cosmetic' features: I can set the colors to not be too much to process (pure white on black or black on white sucks for me), I can set images and videos to hide by default so they don't distract/tire me browsing but I can easily see them if I want to, I can avoid ads (which tend to flash/move or be very glaringly colored and can easily result in headaches), and I can have more fine grain control over text size, where information is located, etc.
