@Cam Wait is this about that post that was going around about how blind people don't need braille? Because there are several problems with that one, most notably the conflation of "Should blind children be taught braille", (to which the answer is yes, because they need to be literate, and braille is how blind people become literate), and "After I've learned braille, must I use it in my daily adult life", to which the answer is or should be an obvious no. But we need to take a shot at blindness orgs, and since there aren't any popular scandals with enough juice right now to use, let's go after braille.

What would be even more helpful to many more people, though, is if you would work on improving the accessibility of your site by employing plain old, no-frills, semantic HTML, which would allow the largest possible number of users to use your site with less friction and frustration while at the same time requiring less work from your development team and therefore less cost to your business when it comes to both up-front work and maintenance costs."

And with that, rate limit has been exceeded for the diplomacy endpoint for the rest of 2024.
