New Update is Horrible
This is by far the worst update discord has ever released, at least since 2017 when I started using it.
It doesn't even feel like I'm using discord. Its like another program took the whole thing over.
* The spacing between messages is just awful, its makes everything so much harder to read comfortably. I think it was perfect how it used to be.
* The "New Message" line that appears when you see unread messages for the first time might be the least bad part of this update - its something i could easily get used to - but its still so ugly.
* The highlighting and all the options when you hover over a line of text is just too much. Again it was so much better before. That being said, I like the idea of having one or two highly used emojis ready to be sent but it could have been implemented much better.
* The spacing between your last message and the bar you type in feels completely off. I can't figure out exactly why but that also needs to be put back to normal.
* I personally don't mind the removal of the activity tab, but I know most people have problems with it because of how much they used it. So I believe that should also be reverted.
* Pings also are not horrible, its something I could probably get used to like the new message line. But also like that line its much worse than it used to be
I've loved discord since I first started using it and I am constantly on it. But this visual update makes me genuinely consider using another platform until these issues are fixed. It doesn't even need to be completely removed, but at the very least make UI changes optional or have the ability to use older versions. My god this whole thing just looks really bad. Whoever was in charge of this design needs to seriously think about how discord is meant to feel (not whatever the heck this is) and what the users like and dont like about the current one instead of just needlessly changing stuff they want to be different.

It's pretty terrible. Change for the sake of it.

The spacing and the hover-over highlight are my biggest grievances. Mainly the hover-over highlight. I do not need that little pop up flashing at me like that, or the text changing color, it's disorienting.

The only thing I don't dislike is when you hover over a message and it gives you the option to put your most/used (or recent idk) emoji on it,
it still sucks though because it feels so out of place.

New update is awful. I hope they will at least bring the option to enable the old interface.

My favorite part is now my push-to-talk button overrides everything else in Discord, so when I'm talking I can't navigate or interact with anything.
Thanks for the nonsense update, Discord.

Please add an option to revert to the old ui.

Ageed, this is unusable.
In attempt to reply to a comment on my OP, I inadvertently edited out half of my original comment such that it no longer makes sense.
Totally counter-intuitive. Considering the sole function of this website is for conversation, I think this is the worst format I have ever seen for such a purpose.1 -
Furthermore, something that the newest mobile update did just made things 10x harder to be a server owner / administrator. It made it so that changing people's roles take more steps than before, it's made it so gifs are super laggy, and in general the entire UI feels laggy and uncoordinated. At the very least I hope this is recognized soon cause it is very sucky.
