New colour and font causing migraines

This is all Discord is going to see for a long time, I'm sure of it.
The new colour scheme is giving people migraines left right and center. The new font is making it extremely hard to read everything going on in posts too. ADHD folk, such as myself have been constantly saying that it's harder to use discord. On the word of 20 people on a 30 person discord full of neurodivergent folk that this update has caused headaches, eyeaches, and general discomfort. Discord is something we use constantly for communication and communal writing(I will admit it's roleplay, yes), as well as D&D games, art chains, and generally staying in touch with one another. It is extremely difficult to do any of these things when none of us can look at discord for long periods of time without getting a headache. For the love of everything, please change it again. Either back, or to something that's easier to read and look at. desaturate the colours again, anything. Just please. Fix this mess

i have a reading disability and i agree with this post. the new color i'm not a fan of, but more importantly is that i have a harder time reading the titles of channels and servers in the headers now.

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.
