Didn't say it wasn't. I said invoking an accessibility standard when it comes to a guy's personal website is laughable because the way it was said implied he was compelled to change his site because some bureaucratic busybodies somewhere said he should. Unless you are a business or a government, most people aren't overly concerned about accessibility, nor should they be - especially if it comes about only through guilt tripping or insinuated threats.
replyI don’t think I’ve insinuated any threats. WCAG are guidelines. It’s a great idea to follow them if you want your content to be consumed, but as you say most jurisdictions would only mandate accessibility for certain actors, not for everyone. Me, I have no idea what jurisdiction the OP is in, or who he/she is, or whether WCAG would be a compliance issue to them. I just used that term as a clue/hint that there are frameworks that can help guide web authors towards good practices. Like how WCAG 2.2 specifies a minimum contrast level. Nobody knows all of this stuff by default, we all have to learn it. Gotta assume good intentions and just point them towards the tools available.
