I mean, the site scales really well with browser size, default font size etc. I'd argue the real inaccessibility is lack of images, and general "boring" vibe that puts off entire demographics who post the type of content that might not be welcome here.

I think a large number of people are unaware that you can scale web pages up with Ctrl -, Ctrl +, particularly older people who complain that "text is too small".

I'm not even old (mid-20s), but I scale the site to 150%. HN is honestly one of the worst sites I have used with regards to default scaling across resolutions.

OTOH the simplicity of the site allows for very easy browser-based scaling, which means I only really think about how bad the text size is once per machine.
