New Ui and branding is actively hostile to Autistic and visually impaired individuals
New Ui and branding is actively hostile to Autistic and visually impaired individuals. The new "Blurple" is much too bright. it strains the eyes, and is way too distracting. The new font is smushed and spaced out in a way the makes it extremely hard to read. All of the buttons and channels have been spaced out slightly more than the old ui layout, so I can't rely on just moving my cursor to same place to open them. The new tags are distracting and in all honesty, really ugly. Its clear no autistic or visually impaired people were included in Discord's "Focus Group". I use Discord because I can easily network with people for both work and play. I like this app and really want to continue using it. please, either revert to the old Ui and colors, or give us the option to toggle to the old version. Keep the new logo, I like it, But the colors and the "Rebranded" fonts nigh unreadable. Fix the spacing issue or, again, revert to the old UI.

I’m not neurodivergent but I literally get double vision looking at the color, had to take the app off my homescreen, and have a hard times seeing the new color properly. I can’t imagine what you guys are going through if it’s this bad for me :( …literally hurts my eyes to use it.

I noticed that Discord replied to someone’s concerns about accessibility with a feedback form. 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/viewformThey claim accessibility is taken very seriously, so let’s be sure to inform them of how difficult these new changes are for people.
