New Discord update is garbage and inaccessable

I'm here to add onto the complaints about the new discord "update", I have plenty of friends who are good good friends to and all have some kinds of visual impairments that make this update truly a disaster.

The new font is unfriendly to dyslexic people, neurodivergent folks with sensory problems and problems with highly-saturated interfaces because of that are suffering, and it isn't colorblind friendly in the slightest. Discord's interface was perfectly fine and readable before the update, this "improvement" does nothing to improve the app in any way, but instead makes it unusable for a lot of people.

  I noticed that Discord replied to someone’s concerns about accessibility with a feedback form about this. 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/viewform

  They claim accessibility is taken very seriously, so let’s be sure to inform them of how difficult these new changes are for people.
