Honesty when discussing new Ui

LQuinn
Many of others have made known, on no uncertain terms, how the new UI has rendered Discord nearly unusable to many of us who are disabled, even literally causing pain. I *must* add that the statement introducing this "rebrand" repeatedly references all this feedback solicited from 26,000 people. Clearly, no effort was made to include Blind/VI folks anywhere in there, or those with other visual processing disorders or even anything else. That or we were ignored by the devs as a "small group." Be honest with us and your company on that much; it isn't really gathering meaningful feedback if it doesn't include disabled people's perspective. It's just more ableist UIs.

    basically I hate the new font and colour, I don't have any particular issue with the new "mascot", but surely the old was much much better.

    I agree. In a few cases it's actually physically hurt my eyes, and apparently using things to change the colours and UI (Like Betterdiscord) are considered breaking TOS. I didn't even know they gathered any feedback from users about this, let alone excluding disabled and visually impaired views feedback.
