Discord is tone deaf

We NEED an IMMEDIATE option to revert back to the older color scheme. I messaged discord about the new color changes being inaccessible 2 days ago and their responses have been nothing but tone deaf. At first they just told me to read ‘why’ and then today they said they “might” change it. “might” So many of us are in actual physical discomfort from using the app now and the best they can do is say “change is apart of life” You can change the logo and not cause extreme discomfort for a large base of users. Or better yet, take the immediate action of reverting back and showing they cared about what they did. But they don’t. I repeat, we NEED an IMMEDIATE option to revert back to the older color scheme. Ive already canceled my nitro and am looking for different options in the mean time.

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