Response To Keyboard accessibility

Hello WebAim,

This week, I have been in correspondence with a Social Media website
representative from Minds.com. The issue at hand is completing the
registration process with keyboard only.
I am pasting his response in part below, to inject the idea that
addressing access concerns to some may be based on the number of
requests for such to be provided.
Response From Minds Staff
Using shift and tab+shift seems to scroll up and down through the
various input fields on the registration page, though curiously it
does look like the checkboxes for our terms are never highlighted, and
I can't find a way to check them. Unfortunately though, and I'm just
going to be blunt and honest with you about this: I don't think this
is an issue with enough urgency for our development team. You are the
first person in 10k+ tickets to ever write to us with a keyboard-only
setup.


Note: I did suggest that their posture on access would eliminate
possible audience for Minds.com.

Once again, thank you.
