Dyslexics can't read your new font, color causes eye strain, colorblind people are having issues

auden

I'm shocked at how bad the redesign is. I've seen a lot of dyslexic people on reddit and elsewhere talking about how inaccessible the new font is. I myself get pretty bad eye strain and discord used to be the only chat service that didn't hurt my eyes even in dark mode  but now it's got this atrocious neon blue. I'm actually shocked that the redesign made it past any kind of approval when it's a nightmare for accessibility and aesthetics in general, to be honest. it looks like you're trying to knockoff pixar.

I don't think anyone would care if you're trying to attract more groups than just gamers and fandoms but rebranding as aggressively anti-dyslexic, aggressively hard on the eyes and aggressively childish, ugly, and unoriginal is not the way.

But discord will probably ignore this post like they've ignored every other person saying the same thing as me. Might be time to switch back over to a new client.

    As someone who is severely vision impaired, I agree. New font and colors made accessibility much harder, especially for people with contrast disorders.

    The blurple is headache inducing and so many people are having the same issue.

    The new colors physically hurt my eyes to look at. I won’t use an app if it hurts. At this rate teamspeak is looking more and more tempting

    i think itd be good if more ppl who have a chance to get more than a few rts or likes would make a stink about this, since it seems like they r trying to contain it to their own threads and their forums...the only thing i seen where discord reacted on twitter in a way that suggested they actually read the criticism was a seperate tweet by someone calling the issues out that got like 50 rts.
