Mosaic image layout is nightmarish for artists.

I am an artist who's used discord to share my art with friends for many many years. Up until now, it has been the best option. Don't have to worry about strangers or bot theft like you would with any other social media. This mosaic image layout absolutely BUTCHERS images when posted. They look awful when cropped, need to be clicked/tapped on to view the image in full, and in absolutely NO way does this twitter-esque cropping look "clean" or anything positive. This also causes issues when I need to post an image for quick reference. I want to be able to quickly go from tab to tab and see multiple full images at once, not useless squares. It only quickens burnout. My friends, many of whom are also artists, have these exact same problems. NOBODY likes it. Nobody asked for it. Add an option to turn this feature off, or remove it entirely. Artists are already going through enough torture already, don't make it worse.

  I 100% agree.  For different reasons.  I'm not an artist but I upload images for functional reasons related to managing gaming and I HATE the fact that my multiple images get thrown into a mosaic now and I cannot turn it off.  It's not a "feature". It's a reason to cancel my discord subscription because a key driver of why I haver a paid account has been undermined.  The "mosaic" was so bad that without realising my discord had been updated, I registered a ticket about a bug to say that multiple images were now corrupting.  It just looks $4!7.

  Agreed! I’ve sent images with a horizontal layout with text, and the readability is absolutely 0%. The grid layout is in no way helpful. And the way it was phrased in the update log was truly insulting. “Woe to those who enjoyed spamming tons of images in a single upload.” Yeah. Woe indeed. What the hell. Total removal or an option to turn it off would be great. It’s annoying on desktop and on mobile i just keep having to roll back updates until they remove it. Being able to read things at a glance should be a normal thing to expect.

  Ruined my server, announcements channels looks like crap, art Showcases channels are crap, sharing images with friends now is so hit or miss. I hate this layout to the point I downgraded all my nitro and don't miss anything because the user experience lacks anyway, so I am now looking for other platforms. Sharing art was the only reason I used discord, now I think it's just jank ugly.
