The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yeah, I get all that. I just figured making it look good during the IPO, even if it crumbled long term was part of the goal. I figured there would have been a bit of meeting room wargaming going on before they set the plans into motion, even if it was on a crunched timeline, how hard could it have been to get their developers to copy even some of the features of 3PA before announcing the changes. They already have developers on staff, I don't understand what they are being paid for if not to develop. Again, I understand features wanted by users and features wanted for monetization won't always be the same, but even just adding stuff like the blind accessibility features before the community browbeat them seems like it would have been an obvious part of a gameplan.
They're developing for ads. I'll quote myself from the previous week.
I lost the link, but someone looked at their job listings a few days ago. They are looking to hire people in machine learning w.r.t advertising.
And the community has been browbeating them for 8 years for better mod tools. r/AskHistorians had a long post (mirror) about Reddit's empty promises. Reddit dropping the ball on accessibility features is the norm given their history.
