Revert the Discord Update (User Interface)
I've been using Discord since 2016 and there have been many great updates. This is probably one of the worst updates that have ever been made on Discord. I loved how the application looked sleek and modern over the past few years, but now it doesn't look anything like that. Everything is so compact and is not visually appealing in any way. Like many people are suggesting, please revert this update or allow us to disable it.
Discord was literally one of the most attractive looking social media platforms and now it's probably the worst. I don't mean to be harsh but this update really wasn't necessary. If you still want to use this interface, it better suits the compact mode.

my exact reaction to opening discord today was 🤮

Honestly, youre right they were at the top in terms of UI.
I introduced a friend to discord a couple weeks ago and his first reaction was "Discord texting is so smooth"
the next time he logs in it'll probably be the opposite22 -
Yep, it looks horrendous. The Discord team has always been good to its users, though, so we'll likely see a fix for this before long.

My dyslexia hates the removal of the line between user posts. It's so claustrophobic. It makes me feel physically ill. The line wasn't even in the way, it was such a nice subtle line that broke everything up nicely. And while I don't mind the quick-emote tab, it should be a slide-out rather than always present. The hover-over covers text sometimes and it clips over images. Why does it pop out when you hover over the whole post instead of just the reactions part???
I'm so sad. This platform looked incredible. Its design was so subtle and it just focused your attention on the chat experience. Now it's too much.

Honestly the latest update is horrible, Discord should consider either rollback to previous version or just removing those new features that we don't like.

the one thing I hate the most is that messages that didn't arrive yet are not dimmed anymore. this improved the usability of discord dramatically for people like me who have a horrendously bad internet connection.
right now I can yell into the void without knowing that my messages didn't arrive only until they turn red, like, 30 seconds later. thanks for removing basic functionality, discord

The dividers between messages are also missing, its turned my chat into a wall of text

The update is unpleasant as I don't like the way whenever I hover onto the text it just highlights each individual text and shows the emojis on the side, I don't need that enabled. It should have an option to disable and I liked the border of lines between each text, it made it more organized and flexible to the eyes.

This update is so bad. Please revert it or give us options to fix it.

I don't want to waste my time typing out a message, but this message is 100% correct on how I'm feeling.

PLEASE REVERT

Tbh I'm whiling to settle on an increase for the "Space between message groups" option in Appearances, like you can only go one level up from the default one and even at that level/max it is very small compared to before this update rolled out. I don't understand why the maximum post-update is smaller than the minimum pre-update.

I'm begging you to revert this. I was angry when I opened discord this morning... I do not use Compact mode for a reason, and this update pretty much removed every difference between the two modes. Either add "classic" as a new display mode or revert this change. I really do rely on the dividers between messages! And the scroll-over highlighting is completely unnecessary, it is distracting and annoying every time I move my mouse over my screen.

I legit thought that somehow compact mode was turned on due to how cluttered everything is. Please Discord make this better on the eyes.

They should add the theme option "Clean" and change cozy back the way it was... cozy is no long cozy

Revert or give us the option to get rid of this inline crap
Who cares if it takes 1 extra click to add a reaction...

I also agree, at least let us choose to revert it back. I mainly just need these ugly side bar emojis to leave
Seriously discord, please fix this wth are you doing.

for anyone who hasnt seen yet
an official discord engineer has commented on reddit about the ui
https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/ezxouv/regarding_the_messages_redesign/
theyre listening apparently, but it seems the ui was a massive re-code. they cant simply revert it, due to a massive overhaul to the programming.
EXCERPT FROM THE POST
"This project involved a complete re-write of the messages components (they're literally re-built from the ground up), so it's not simple style-sheet changes as one might think, and a big part of why we can't simply offer the "old vs new UI" as an option, as internally, that legacy code is gone, along with all the bugs and maintenance headaches it had. Additionally the new code is flat-out faster, and hopefully as you use it, the app should feel snappier when navigating between channels and such."

im also probably going to get into trouble for this
but if you have better discord, go to the unofficial library (just google it, 'betterdiscordlibrary"), go to the themes, and sort by date.
you'll see it.

I hate this update please revert it

It's been weeks and they still haven't done anything about it.
Seriously discord, I loved the design before and used discord daily. Now I find myself to be slipping out of it a bit.1 -
It's been 2 months and it's getting worse,,

It's progress with the circle profiles, but the buttons are still horrendous and look like mobile on desktop and the icons are just way too damn big while the profile pictures are small as shit. At least I'm not getting blinded by the shitty bright yellow backgrounds like before and I can see when someone is talking.

I agree but for the phone its ok but tablet is horrible, why a parameter that allows you to choose the new or old interface. have a good day
2 -
It is getting worse every update please add an option where people can opt in to use the new design or stay with the old one

Exactly. There should be checkboxes to customize what people want and don't want.

I would like to go 8 months back, the UI got really ugly
