Still Experiencing Migraines And Seizures From Update

spaceAndy

I have autism and dyslexia, which can cause seizures with overstimulation, and I physically cant use the app anymore for extended periods without having severe migraines. I've already had 2 seizures since the update, CAUSED BY the update.

The colors are so oversaturated that I have to use a powerful screen shader to even use the app now WITHOUT experiencing seizures, and i cannot for the life of me read the new branding font, as it's extremely painful for dyslexia to read that font at all. I get motion sickness and headaches when I even try to use it.

Even with scvreen shder on the colors are so intense I am begging, literally begging you to at least just add color & font changes to the Accessibility tab. Your app is literally going to kill me if i use it for extended periods.

    This entire rebrand is a legal issue.  People are literally being harmed, like OP here.  And I bet that's why they've gone mum and aren't actually saying anything.  They're terrified of legal action.

    It appears they did respond on Reddit 6 days ago. It’d have been nice to have a public statement, not a Reddit comment on an ancient post… https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/nbilz1/a_fresh_new_look_to_celebrate_our_6th_birthday/h09aq5a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

    Update: finally FINALLY they added support to filter the colors on desktop. So I will be stuck only using desktop for a while, or at least only using my phone app with the strongest filter on.

    Unfortunately, that doesnt cover the font issue. The new font is still impossible to read, and gives me migraines when I try. It's. Useable? I guess? but not comfortable or ideal.
