It has been agreed that RedReader falls under the exemption for non-commercial accessibility-focused apps, due to the work that has been done to optimize the app for screen readers, and the app’s high level of usage within the blind community.

I still have concerns about Reddit’s current trajectory, and plan to expand the range of sites RedReader is able to access in future.

Over the last week I’ve been in touch with the developers of Lemmy, who indicated that they would prefer a slow ramp up of traffic rather than a sudden influx. Similarly, the major Lemmy instances are struggling under the sheer number of Reddit refugees right now.

We will continue to prioritize accessibility in the app, while also continuing to serve the userbase as a whole.

    So I’m just thinking out loud. I think it’s time lemmy started a non-profit foundation, gather donation and start bug bounties and funding some high traffic instances. Lemmy.ml has been bugging out and that sends out bad first impression.

    instances can’t keep paying out of their pockets forever.

      Meh, I think we keep it as decentralized as possible. The more weird and diverse experiments the better. Standardization on a platform leads to power imbalance between users and those that make the rules
