Just even the option to change the UI back would be nice.

While I'm not a big fan of the logo and font, those problems pale in comparison the the HORRIBLE colors that are ACTIVELY hurting the eyes of your user base. The moment I got this update, I contemplated looking for an alternative app. We need you to actually listen to community feedback here where it genuinely, truly matters.

    Also the clutter created by the outline on reactions. And the lack of contrast on @ (now they're white).
    Can't we just have the old design and the new one as optional?

    It's clearly not a feature but a bug. Please fix

    I agree with this. The new colours are harder on the eyes.

    Give us options.  People like to have a choice, and I'm sure there are people who like the new design.  But they aren't fighting to force everyone to look at it!  Options, people.

    Yeah, eye strain is an accessibility issue and the new update is very straining. I noticed that Discord replied to someone’s concerns about accessibility with a feedback form about this kind of issues. 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.
