I agree with #[5] … existing clients should be as accessible as possible. It’s not fair to tell a person with a disability that they can’t use a leading app just because the developer didn’t want to make it accessible.
It’s like saying to people in a wheelchair “no you can’t use public transit because our buses are not accessible… so go build your own transit system”.
Damus has some (very basic) accessibility features such as an option to disable animations, and the ability for Damus to respect font size as set up in iOS as opposed to use a randomly small text size as in the earlier version. That doesn’t hinder the experience for anyone.
