They’re almost completely unrelated. attr_accessor is part of ruby
itself and is equivalent to calling attr_writer and attr_reader for
the same argument(s), ie it creates accessor methods for you

attr_accessible is a rails thing and is part of rails’ mass assignment
protection (along with attr_protected). It allows you to setup a
whitelist of attributes that can be mass-assigned (as opposed to
attr_protected, which sets up a blacklist) so that users can’t set
important attributes they’re not supposed to be able to set just by
manipulating the form data that is posted
