RE: new reaction changes, with suggestions
I'm going to echo others here, as a dyslexic I find the new highlight of my reactions incredibly difficult to read around. It makes the screenspace so busy that it adds to issues with visual processing, which means that I can't understand what I'm seeing any more than I would if I were trying to read a foreign alphabet. This could be solved by hiding them altogether, but it'd be a shame to lose one of my favorite ways to augment communication—and discord is all about communication, yes?
Some options to keep the differentiation without the inaccessible graphic are:
- Keep the slight shade difference (highlight), ditch the outline
- Change the outline to greyscale, reduce contrast slightly
- Ditch the highlight and outline altogether and just keep the low-light over other people's reactions.
- Give an option to have no difference whatsoever so people can choose for themselves
I prefer the options, as I'm sure many disableds would ;) we all have different needs, and options are the foundation of any accessible platform. Thank you!

I don't have a problem to read the text (although I can definitely see it would be a problem for some people), but I agree the outline steals a lot of our attention and is kinda annoying. To me it creates a hierarchy conflict with the contents of the messages, which are supposed to be more important than the reactions. I would like to see an option to keep the old highlight, or just an option to not have the blue outlines. With the old highlight, it was just enough for us to know what our own reactions were without fighting for attention with the text.

This new look is awful. The color visualization on roles during the @ mentions were much easier to find. Now there is some weird outline that does what? It's literally not improving anything. They are just changing things for the sake of saying they are staying busy. Stop trying to fix what isn't broken. I have now cancelled my Nitro. I hope others will as well until they listen to their community, which as it looks, they don't. Sad.

Yes. I'm glad that there is a high-contrast option for people who need it now. Most platforms that implement accessibility have an option to switch between high, low, and average contrast options for their users. That would be ideal, because diversity is the human condition, right? ;) When it comes to a complicated screen space like Discord's, accessibility for some means exclusion for others. Comprehensive accessibility requires options for the end user.
It's important to keep trying, Discord, and accessibility does take experimenting. Not being able to communicate makes people nervous (really, it's awful), so please take any vitriol seriously, but not personally. I have the wherewithal to be diplomatic, but that is a privilege too. <3
