Reply Function: Fix it or Remove It
Just so the devs don't think people are going to just adapt to it after a bit of grumbling and stop making noise.
Because the Reply function is still crap.
It still looks like crap, it's a distracting eyesore.
It still is harder to read than regular text.
It still cuts the replied to message short with no user control for it whatsoever.
It still shrinks the replied to text.
It still wastes space on a micro-avatar.
It still has outright supplanted Quote rather than just being an option.
It still has no way to disable Reply for a server as a toggle for the server owner.
It still has no way to disable seeing them in a toggle on the individual user's end.
It is still being effectively forced on a lot of people that cannot stand it.
Those of us opposed are not going to suddenly stop not liking it. The arguments against it aren't going to suddenly stop being relevant.
Give a proper Quote function instead; keep what was good about Quote (high degree of user control over it) and improve it by allowing it to link back to what's being quoted.
And no, being able to manually do a bootleg "quote" workaround in the formatting doesn't cut it when Reply has replaced it and is being used instead.
Fix Reply or remove it, and give us a proper Quote function back.
We're not going away.

I absolutely hate this new "feature". Please let me disable it.

What the hell are you talking about? It's a useful feature to when I want to reply to some things some people say so I wouldn't go off-topic from what the channel is talking about in a server. Get downvoted.

I enjoy the reply feature. It even links back to the original message. My one suggestion would be to make it larger and embed it, like a quote, but keep it separate from >-denoted markdown. I don't see a reason to get hostile with the devs over this.

This is hands down the worst feature I've ever seen. Please just remove it. It looks like trash.
