Revert new reaction and @ bolding
Discord has just changed how these two things look. I don't like this change so I'm making this post to hopefully get it reverted. I know that's unlikely but I'm sure at least one person might agree with me. Almost everybody dislikes UI redesigns, especially in a scenario like this where it wasn't broken in the first place.
Even if its not fully reverted an option to go back would be nice.

I forgot to mention the new discord logo looks like an old, old early unfinished version of the logo we all love.
I mean everything in this update is bad, did their servers burn and they had to restore a backup from 2015?

THIS!
I kinda get why discord is changing their UI, but I personally (and many others) just don't like it and prefer the previous design. A simple button to change to the old UI wouldn't harm anyone.6 -
Personally I haven’t done the update yet 😂 but this is for golemka’s revolution!

I think Discord is VERY late to April Fools. That sound pack was a testing and this one is a joke.

PLEASE DISCORD PLEASE

I agree there was no point in changing it now it just looks worse all we want is just a good platform to talk to other gamers to have fund

No..why did you remove discord precious hair from the logo...
3 -
can we please get rid of this, discord? honestly glad i haven't seen many reactions lately.. wait.

I really hate the round look everyone's going for now, it honestly feels like they're hiring kids to do graphic design.
The palette also looks awful too, who let someone change the palette and include it in an update?
Seems like they're doing change for the sake of change.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.7 -
The new reaction thing seems like it was made to improve accessibility, and if that's the case it can be an option for increased contrast in the UI in general.

As someone who has OCD, I find this update very problematic. Let's just revert back please
7 -
While I like the new reaction design, I absolutely hate the @mention design. PLEASE revert it or give us the option to revert it.

Please for the love of god, change this back. Both user and channel mentions had much contrast, were very noticable. I don't get at all why would you remove the contrast of mentions by making them white but add it to reactions. The light blue/aqua color the @ON/@OFF reply mention toggle would be fine for the mention color.
Until now, I've never considered switching to an alternative discord client despite many people whining about Discord's bad decisions or missing features.
New reactions look good IMO.5 -
I think the reactions look nicer personally, but the color change made it sorta gross, and the pings are just so out of place in chat.

Why stop at just these? Backtrack the whole rebrand, please! Every change besides the new colour for the ping button on replies is disGUSTING.

I think they look pretty bad, especially on dark theme
4 -
I have hard time reading mentions on raid rosters now, because they are all white plain text on dark UI. Very poor UX, please revert mentions color change.

WHY DOES LIGHT MODE GET TO KEEP THE OLD PING COLOR BUT NOT DARK MODE
5 -
The new UI looks horrible. Change that shit back
5 -
Logged into here for the first time since I made my discord account almost 5 years ago just because of how bad these changes are
5 -
Yup. New UI sucks, as does the "new" logo. I normally try to find positives in a bad thing, but there is nothing good about the changes.
3 -
Really getting sick of Discord forcing UI changes like this. Feels nasty like they're trying to be google meet or something. If they're gonna keep doing this I may as well just use google meet.
4 -
Seems like I'm in the minority in that I actually like the new reactions, but I can agree with everyone else--the white pings and the logo changes aren't ideal. Please revert.

Oof, no. The new reaction is distracting and looks intrusive. Likewise for the ping. Change it back, pretty please with hot fudge and sprinkles? 😛

Time to make our own discord

Lol. Maybe they're trying to get people to use light mode.
🤦
5 -
How light mode looks:
I really didn't notice too many changes(bc I use light mode). Still, THE REACTIONS LOOK TERRIBLE!
Perhaps its bc they never update light mode.
6 -
I will add my hate to the list. The change is complete poo poo, and deserves a lot of hate.
7 -
I havent seen the pings change yet but i just noticed reactions and that line that stays once you have reacted... i hate it! I have to agree, i never came to say anything here but please revert it!
7 -
I think the color looks fine but the font. That is gross
