Colorblind mode and new badge for approved suggestions.

New badge

Hi, apparently your support for discord is very easy to communicate so I have two suggestions that would be nice if you had, there would be a badge for users to suggest new systems for discord (those suggestions have been approved and already applied to the system) It would be great if if you value users with this badge, it would also increase the rate of suggestions you would receive to improve disagreements, if you approve my suggestion, I would like to be the newbie in this badge; )

Colorblind mode

I have another suggestion that it would be possible to have a colorblind mode, I have Tritanomal colorblindness mode and I have difficulty seeing some color types of some positions, badges, online status, busy, absent, notifications and even the discord logo for me is different. It would be really cool if you set the colorblind mode to the 3 types, which would be Tritanomalia, Protanomalia and Deuteranomalia.
I hope you approve of these suggestions, I will be very happy.

    Tritanomalia must be especially difficult on a website that used different-in-intensity shades of blue - for both the background and the accents 😔.

    for designers: the beta app is going in a somewhat better direction. —  from a graphic designer POV, the rule of the thumb would be that if an RGB colour puts all the values in either: R, G, RG, or B component of it — it's going to be practically invisible to a user who can't tell that colour from its background. — so desaturating that migraine-blue by adding some RG to it — has an extra benefit of making it visible in a monochrome screen setting — since now it's noticeably a little brighter than the background, while back when I had to turn off the colours in order to be able to use discord at all — the nightmare blue was near as dark as the darkmode background. —

    there's a lots of guides and svg/css-filter-based emulators/patches for colour accessibility modes — esp. the invisible and the identical colours would need to be a bit tweaked to become more visible — for tritanomaly specifically, the discord version of the ":fearful:/😨" emoji could be easily mistaken with the ":worried:/😟" emoji, bc the extremely similar brightness of blue and yellow in the Discord versions of these - can make the bright blue very difficult to notice 🤔.

    (of course, speaking of emojis, there's the matter of the black ones now being, for these last couple of months, almost exactly the same shade as the newly-darker darkmode background, even for users with a perfect colour perception.)
