Surprisingly, the new UI still hurts
The new color is still loud and obnoxiously bright and fails almost every WCAG test it gets put through. I've had to manually change the discord taskbar icon back to it's original form because it was so bright and horrible to look at. It gave me a headache in just under maybe ten minutes because of how jarring it was.
I've already made a post about this and I don't want to just reiterate the same thing, but this is seriously unbearable. Discord has become a platform that seemingly is now aiming towards children (??? isn't the sign up age 13???) with its bright and rainbow color scheme. This isn't what anyone wanted. The fact that they said they surveyed, what, 26,000 people, which is maybe 0.02% of discords average users, and said that this is what we as a community wanted is laughable.
The font is also terrible. Every time I try to read a capital "G" it looks like an "O." When a lowercase "a" and "e" are next to each other it's glaringly obvious how much of a horrible frankenstein this font is. I keep reading "Discord" as "Divorced" and "Discond." I can't imagine how horrible it must be for people with dyslexia. It's just a stretched out Arial Black.
And there's a really easy solution to this entire problem, too. Add themes! Wouldn't that be so cool? You could change the color of the blurple and maybe even the text fonts or backgrounds. It'd be so fun! And people wouldn't be forced to make a theme if they didn't want too, so everyone would win.
And yet... it looks like nothing is going to change. Discord is losing users and will continue to lose users over this. The only reason I personally haven't moved is because it'd be very difficult to move all of my friends to another platform.
The only thing good that's come out of this rebranding is maybe the new logo? It looks better and I like its symmetry, but that's really it...
