Reddit literally made up their own definition of “Accessibility” in order to justify only giving a couple of particularly unpopular 3rd party apps exceptions. No shade on RedReader but we all know it wasn’t nearly as popular as RiF or Apollo

The only apps that are getting accessibility exemptions are apps that are only about accessibility, not apps that happen to have good accessibility and also do other things.

Not defending reddit’s decision here. BUT, their actions leading up to those exemptions mean it shouldn’t come as a surprise. They want to kill 3rd party apps without breaking any accessibility laws. So my guess is those exemptions will disappear as soon as the native app gets some half assed accessibility features.
