  • Thank you for compiling everything on this! I recommend sharing this on other social media as a call-to-action. There’s already a lot of threads here, but they’re obviously not listening when it’s just in their forums.

    oh yeah, note: they haven't been completely silent on the issue, but they still haven't reverted the changes, so i'm still upset about this

  • ktiy — “Discord’s new design choices are completely inaccessible for many people and they’re trying to restrict our outcry to their forums to hide it from the public. Here’s a compilation of how it harms people, share it wherever you can!” and a link to the post wherever you can post it?

    The point is, as stated, to get this gaining traction in places other than Discord’s own forums and thread on Twitter.

    Thank you!! This is well-put-together. I do hope Discord will make some changes because I imagine these complaints will go on much longer than just a week. I would like to continue to support Discord, but they must realize quickly that there are people in the community that want these changes so it doesn't negatively impact their experience while using Discord.

    I appreciate that you have actual evidence and details instead of just "New color ugly! >:(". Blue is naturally a more intense color, and when put with the dark background of dark mode, it can really strain people's eyes. This update really had no purpose, no one was complaining about how things were before. I've seen people say that everyone will stop complaining and accept it after a while, but that's not because we'd be okay with it, it'd be because complaining at a brick wall has no purpose. I wish they'd stop being so anal about things like BetterDiscord since that way users can have things work how they want, and as long as Discord and the BetterDiscord properly manage things it can end up being just as safe while still as versatile.

    Really is sad to see how poorly they're running things and completely ignoring the criticism and backlash of their UI updates. No one complains when they add features or fix bugs after all, it's just the cruddy UI we hate.

    ThatOneInternetGuy Yeah, this is really disappointing to see, especially considering this was an unnecessary and unwanted change.
    My best guess is that they had hired a permanent designer rather than say a freelance one, and had to give them something to do.

    I don't have any significant issues with colors or eyestrain but looking at this hurts. The new green confuses my eyes and rather than drawing them it pushes my gaze away and the new blue does the same. It's overwhelming and uncomfortable to look at. I do have issues with reading and I've noticed myself struggling to read my friend's messages a lot more than I previously had. I don't notice it in the moment and can't pick out any specific things that mess me up, but what has been frequently happening is I'll initially read a message one way and then if I read it over again a few hours later I'll notice that I've read a word wrong or in the wrong order. I couldn't tell you if it's because of the font change, but like I said, this happened very rarely previous to the change and now it's almost a daily occurance.

    I think the old blurple was easy on the eyes and worked very well. I was fond of it. The new one is quite saturated by comparison - why fix it if it wasn't broken?

    (Not) funny part is, alot of developers are on the spectrum, so it makes me wonder if the developers were even involved in the decision or testing. Heck, I doubt the designer looked at this color change for more than a minute.
