July is Disability Pride Month and, to mark the occasion, Discord released several accessibility features on desktop, iOS and web, with Android support coming in the future.

A new Role Colors feature allows servers to display a colored dot next to a user’s name if they have been assigned a role in the server. This option may be preferable in servers that assign bright colors to their roles or use colors that may be hard to see while using Discord’s Dark or Light visual themes.
