new “update” isn’t attractive nor accessible

the color is horrifying. it gives off “windows error screen blue” vibes. for people who have some sort of disability that can be affected by such strong colors, it makes things inaccessible. and yeah, i am going to bring up the new font. it’s ugly and looks like every other company doing a rebrand where modern designs >> uniqueness and honestly, readability. also the logo change is extremely disappointing and while i know this isn’t related to accessibility, it came in the new unnecessary update. please listen to your user base, many of whom pay money for extra features, and either give an option (not nitro exclusive) to change the color scheme, or make it all go back to less of an eye strain

  I noticed that Discord replied to someone’s concerns about accessibility with a feedback form about this. 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.
