Interesting question. My understanding is that both platforms have accessibility policy or are looking at it:

https://slack.com/intl/en-at/accessibility-plan <https://slack.com/intl/en-at/accessibility-plan>
https://meta.discourse.org/tag/accessibility <https://meta.discourse.org/tag/accessibility> 

As for being blocked, Slack is not accessible (or inconsistently) in some countries.
Discourse seems ok and depends on your IP and your content.

Cheers,
Pamphile
