The new update is hostile to a lot of users now. ADHD, Autistic, Dyslexic, and many more. Are all effected by the new update. The colors are too garish causing problems for ADHD, Autistic, people with frequent migraines, as it makes you want to look at them and is attention grabbing. But also causes strain and is painful. The new fonts effect people with dyslexia and other visually impaired problems. By being too squished, and too close, it’s easy for them to skip over letters, and the letters look too similar. These are both actively hostile to a large group of people, and it was only two changes. This is not ok, and should be taken care of as soon as possible.

  I noticed that Discord replied to someone’s concerns about accessibility with a feedback form! I filled it out already, so I hope others in do and share it with friends as well to let them know how inaccessible and garish the new colors, font, etc. are for users.

  Link to their tweet about it: https://twitter.com/discord/status/1392869194413355009
  Link to their Google form feedback itself: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdTzNbITTRx4BYWFlC3gi_lEi3D3rsa9VCBK_EphF5myDb7uw/viewform

  They claim accessibility is taken very seriously, so let’s be sure to inform them of how difficult these new changes are for people.
