After adjusting for a couple days, these changes turned out to be even worse than I initially foresaw

    I can’t possibly agree more. I’m not neurodivergent…this is a new-ish issue for me. Certain blue led or neon signs have always been hard for me to see but this color gives me double vision, is very hard to focus on, and makes my eyes itch to look at. They’re response has basically been “can’t please everyone lulz, change happens” …this is actively injuring users. This isn’t a design choice, it’s HARMFUL.

    I have ADHD and sight issues too. Exact same problems. The font doesn't bother me too-too much but the colors are so straining to my eyes. The new purple is honestly awful, I didn't know that a purple could be so off putting. 

    And it's not like I can avoid it either, all my friend groups are established here.

    Please either revert your changes and do a soft revamp later if you want a new look without harming your consumers. We need you guys to fix this for us

    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/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.

    I'm right here with you.  I can't use the app at all any more. And like you, I saw the feedback form.  I filled it out but seriously, WTF?  They are flat out lying.  Just as a note, 140million users in 2020, 75k users supposedly studied for these changes.  That's... %0.5 of their user base?

     

    Yes, they clearly take accessibility seriously.

    Yep. I agree. it literally hurts to look at, and using 3rd party apps such as Betterdiscord are apparently TOS breaking. It's horrid.

    Agreed. So many people have been having headaches, seizure auras, migraines, and general eyestrain - both disabled and abled, and neurodivergent and neurotypical.

    Discord, stop saying that you care when you so obviously don't. It's been weeks.

    At this rate I’m just going to suspend my account, and find another service.
