New UI must be reverted. I cannot adapt to this downgrade. Nitro canceled. Looking for alternative apps. This is simply bad.
This needs to be reverted. I've canceled Nitro (no discount) and will leave Discord permanently if this is not addressed. Discord is doing what Skype did and I want no part of it.
Some of the concern was that new Discord users aren't as familiar with the UI coming from other apps. That's to be expected- They're mostly all the same, Discord is not. That may have a small initial learning curve, but the UX is better for it. That is what makes Discord GOOD. What makes Discord unique is what gives it it's value. If all the social media apps functioned the same, there would be no need for more than 1 and we would all just join that. I've stopped using Messenger and other social apps because they all fell into this trap. I have been freaking out about this for over 17 hours now. I don't want to see Discord die like this. Hopefully the following is somewhat coherent as it's difficult to think straight with how angry this update has made me.
Things to fix, immediately:
- In Dms, remove the banner marquee swipe thing at the top and just put most recent chats as before. If it must be added, have it at the bottom. If you want to show me what my friends are playing, put it under their status on the friends list in Messages.
- Fix contextual notifications, or let me get rid of the notifications icon at the bottom. If the shortcuts on the bar were customizable, that might be a stand-in/workaround. But I don't want to see this, I don't like this noise. I'd prefer proper Android notifications, or a context notification in the top left letting me know I have a new DM
- Pin messages to the top left for faster navigation
- Bring back the users list as it was
- Fix global search and image preview
- Retain swipe navigation
- Add an option to toggle the excess animations. This can be done in dev mode from Android, but seeing the panel swipe over is needless and only slows things down. I want to tap/swipe top left, tap messages at the top, tap most recent message, then type to get between a server and back to my friends. I don't want to have to reach all over my phone to move between sections. I have a Pixel 7 Pro, it's a fairly large phone and I don't have the largest thumbs. It's a ton more work to use the dumb bottom bar now and it cannot be used quickly.
- Adding an emoji minimizes the keyboard automatically, this is cumbersome if I want to send multiple.
Trying to have a few conversations going on at once between a server and DMs is next to impossible now. I am starting to stop caring about having friends with this update. If this continues I'll just text or call them, I don't need an app if it's going to be this painful to use.

No because this is the most comprehensive list of what they should do next, you put it into words!

2016 user here! this app has been uninstalled. absolutely unusable update which isn't just ugly, it's unusable. from the color options being too contrasted or dark, to the inability to easily see pinned messages, search specific users/channels, and complete lack of usability when it comes to navigation.
just download guilded, encouraged all my friends to do the same :)2
