To understand light theme’s fall from grace, we must go back to the earliest days of Discord — 2015. Most people don’t know this, but the earliest versions of Discord contained only one theme. Light Theme. Then, everything changed on August 6th, 2015. You remember how you were the center of attention until your younger sibling came along? They were easier on the eyes, resonated more with your friends, and — I’m not sure this metaphor is working anymore — dark theme was released to the world.
