No. You have to use Discord with Miranda NG if you want a fully keyboard accessible experience. They say they are working on accessibility but so far the accessibility enhancements have been for low vision people and not screen reader users or keyboard users.
Miranda NG also has other proticals you can use too! It's a great little program.

It can be tricky to navigate, but it is possible to get into channels to talk to people, comment in text chat, and more. It has a quick switcher action that you can use by using ctrl+k. If you know the channel name you would like to navigate to, you can type it into the quick switcher to interact with the channel. From my experience, the app is more accessible with JAWS. It would be nice if Discord invested some more time into screen reader accessibility.

Not fully but it's semi usable, once you get to the actual chat window it works fine

what do you mean by not fuly? if not fuly how do you navigate?
HarvestWisp 1 points 4y ago
You can navigate with the mouse, from what I remember there is almost nothing that you can navigate with the keyboard

I don't know if this will be super helpful because I don't have time to read it but someone shared this with me today and I thought of this post.

I tried miranda NG like 1 year ago, but it wasn't that accessible. Did that change?
