Will unsubscribe from Nitro over this awful UI

This UI update isn't only horrendously confusing and horrible to look at, but it's buggy and glitchy on Google phones. The app lags and lingers on certain pages and it feels more like some low quality website rather than the most trusted and reliable gaming community app. It looks way less professional. But that's just my opinion: so please, give me and others an option to change back to the old UI? Because this opinion is popular enough that every post on this forum is about it.

At LEAST reconsider the worst offenses:

- The swipe reply thing is NOT working like you want it to. Pressing and holding was perfectly accessible and understandable for people who use the app; mimicking texting apps with these useless message features is just making it harder for long term Discord users. You know, the people paying for Nitro.

- Separating messages and servers is too inconvenient. It's such a useless change; it adds nothing. In fact, all its doing is disorienting people. The easiest way to see a new DM was by letting it be the first thing you see on your screen; making a whole new section for DMs takes away from that.

- Hiding the members list in servers gives the app a whole atmosphere. Typically, you'd see the members list to the side, and you'd be able to instantly see who's online and what their statuses are… It was the quickest and easiest way to see what your friends are up to in a server. But now to suppress that almost entirely? It's draining the activity from the app. It makes servers feel lifeless and desolate. And for what? Just to remove the ability to see people in the server easily? One of the main reasons I pay for Nitro is to decorate my server profiles, you know, for people to look at. Is that just gonna be halfway in vain now?

Now luckily, the new UI was only updated on my alt account. My main account is still usable, so I won't cancel Nitro yet: I quite enjoy Discord because its so incredibly helpful for gaming and just general conversation. It's become the only app I use to message, especially having a phone that isn't convenient to texting with iOS users. Even though Nitro only provides a handful of extra features (some that are arguably useless), its something I'm totally fine paying for. In fact I go out of my way to gift my friends Nitro when it's convenient

But if this UI is put onto my main account, and I have no way of reverting to the old one, Im not gonna waste my money anymore. If you're reading this as an upset Discord user, I urge you not to waste your money either
