Comment:

 We discussed this ticket in the #a11y meeting, and concluded that there is
 no way to hide a link only to screen reader users that's a) complete and
 b) avoiding confusion for sighted keyboard users.

 As such, what we recommend is addressing this in a UI redesign that would
 eliminate the edit link and add a visual indicator (perhaps an icon) that
 clearly indicates that the post title is a link to edit the post.
