A few years ago I read about a group of lawyers, the self-serving greedy bastard kind of lawyers, that went around finding websites with accessibility violations and would file suit against them. With the way the laws are written the cases were slam dunks. The lawyers didn't actually care about the violations, it was just a way to make a quick buck. It would be a shame if reddit had to face a swarm of those piranhas.

You posted an image without alt-text in a thread about blind folks? Really?

To be fair that means we need to get those same lawyers to sue Lemmy for allowing that to happen.
