Discord's new color is painful and just plain ugly
So around 3 days ago Discord auto-updated into the shitcord it is now. I love how ironic your Twitter thread is say "accessibility is a top priority at Discord" when in reality, this update defies that.
Let's talk about how it's painful for this abomination of a color
1: It sheers through blue light filtering (like f.lux, Night Shift, etc)
2: It's hard for people with mental illnesses (like ADHD, dyslexia, etc) to see without straining their eyes, or getting a migraine, or both.
I'm starting to think that Discord, who what we all thought was to be one of the best companies on the market, is turning into one of those companies that just don't care about it's users
Please Discord, for the love of god, reverse this update. The only thing that's coming out of it is your massive loss of users

I completely agree, as someone who's dyslexic and has ADD, this colour scheme is just so difficult to look at, and is a total headache.

THIS. The new color scheme (especially purple text on white and vise versa) is honestly painful to look at. I've had to turn the blue light filter on my laptop up to 70% in the middle of the day to look at the websites comfortably.

I hate the new changes as well as someone with ADHD and dyslexia. But, 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/viewformSince they claim accessibility is taken very seriously, let’s be sure to inform them of how difficult these new changes are for people.
