Users with or without screen readers could reasonably expect to read plain text.

Ok, it shows a tooltip.

The `title` attribute should specifically not be used here; ARIA labels should. The title attribute is implemented differently across browsers and assistive technologies [1] and is supposed to be a title, not a duplicate of the content of the element.

It doesn't make perfect sense. If the name is actually "Actually Portable Executable" then all users should be able to read it that way.

If it is only stylized as "αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε" a readable name should be available alongside the visual styling (using ARIA attributes, for example).

No, that should be an ARIA label. Specifically NOT a `title` attribute.

A title provides additional (not redundant) info and browsers and assistive technologies implement the attribute differently.

I agree, reddit should ban the white supremacy subreddits on principle alone; but they are also within their constitutional rights to do so.

Free speech would mean you support (private companies like) reddit's choice to ban the white supremacy subreddits.

What does it have to do with that website being full of bigots? Their speech is not limited by the government.
