Notes and other important info now harder to access due to experimental "simplified profiles" feature

I'm someone with somewhere ranging from moderate to severe memory issues who needs easy access to notes to help jog my memory.

Recently a new experimental feature seems to be rolled out with simplified profiles- Which is fine, They look great! … My only problem is that they don't have a place to look at notes anymore when that was a very important feature for me. Now I have to go to the main profile to access notes which is tedious and makes everything harder for me in general.

It would be nice to have a feature where I could either re-enable notes from clicking on a user, or to add a spot for it in the simplified profile, or to just revert the change if it looks too clunky.

Also the bio was a useful item for me to see in jogging my memory and not having that makes things strange…. Not to mention the fact that in servers, it limits the amount of roles you can see which also is partially annoying… In fact the more I think about it the less I'm liking it.
It just makes everything feel less accessible for me.

Anyways thank you for reading and sorry for the poor formatting.

I agree, I only just got the update so I didn't notice until now. I use notes HEAVILY in moderation, being able to click a name and instantly see their notes is something I use every single day. We are a discord server that connects to a game, and I always put their in-game name in a note in case they change their name/nickname later. It comes in handy very often. Additionally, I put notes if someone is particularly helpful or has caused issues in the past.

Hiding this information out of sight has massively impacted the speed of my moderation, and is particularly difficult for moderators with disabilities that have an even harder time bringing someone's full profile up.

I believe this change is extremely unnecessary, as when unused, the notes section takes up very little space. There are a couple ways this could be improved to benefit everyone:

A setting to toggle notes being visible in the simplified profile (best for everyone)
When blank, there is no notes section. You can visit the full profile or right-click to add a note, and then it is shown in the simplified profile
