New UI is overstimulating and unfriendly to users with disabilities
With all the text smashed closer together, trying to read the chat is incredibly overstimulating. Its hard to concentrate, and its mentally taxing and stressful. Please revert the changes. Space the text out more, give us back the lines separating messages. Remove the highlight on text when it's moused over, and remove the huge pop up on the end that draws the eye and makes it even more stressful and hard to stay focused. At the very least, make the new UI optional. Give us a switch to turn these settings on or off. Please, my friends and I are really struggling, and discord is no longer safe or enjoyable to use as it is now. We don't want to have to switch to a new application, but we feel like we might have to if every time we open discord we feel so overstimulated.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. As someone who has Aspergers and ADHD, I already struggle enough with my energy and being overstimulated. When I want to go check Discord when I'm having a sensory meltdown, the stupid highlighting makes everything worse. Don't even get me started on the huge eyesore of a message popup.
Discord please, don't fix something that isn't broken.

Yes. It's way too obtrusive and ruined something that was ideally accessible while not overstimulating.
