How Discord Went Mainstream

One thing that really irritates me about Discord is that it has really crappy low-contrast dark & light themes. And it's not theme-able at all. At least slack's default light theme is high contrast and also slack is theme-able.

I use the browser version and the stylus browser extension to set the font to Roboto and make the text actually pass the chrome inspectors accessibility guidelines

But no dark theme options, so not theme-able in any useful way.

I wish Discord had an actual usable light theme. What they have now is an abomination. They probably look at the stats and see nobody uses the light theme and think "not worth to fix". Of course nobody uses it... it's unusable.

Contrast and readability is so 2013. Get used to modern perfect design and stop living in the stone age!!1!1!
