These recent Chat UI changes are TERRIBLE!

Please consider rolling back the recent changes to the Friends page and Chat UI, or at least offer the option to disable them somewhere in the settings.

The "Active Now" section of the Friends page is a redundant eyesore that needlessly takes up the right side of the screen. If I need to see what my friends are playing, I can just look at their individual statuses like I have been able to do forever. Needlessly listing the same information twice on the same page, and in such an annoying way, is very frustrating.

Also, the new emoji picker/options menu in the Chat UI that pops up when you hover over a post is SUPER ANNOYING. Now whenever I scroll up in a server's text chat or a Direct Message, my screen is subjected to a flickering mess of unnecessary message highlighting and recently-used emojis. The old system for Reactions and options related to messages was much cleaner, easier to look at, and in my opinion more effective in terms of its user experience.

Again, please consider rolling back these recent changes or at least offer the option to toggle them off somewhere in the settings. As you can see from recent feedback here on the forums and over on social media, there are a lot of us frustrated by them.

Thanks for your consideration

I agree with the pop up reactions button. I liked it much better when it was just the dots because it was much easier to navigate around, and there were lines between different messages. Now it just looks awkward.
