Remove the new message changes or add option for old system.
I see that there are a LOT of messages about this same kind of issue, but piling on top with my own opinions just shows that there are even more of us out here. I've taken issue with changes to discord before, been annoyed by them, but I've never actually taken the time to give any feedback about it because they were never THIS bad.
1. Darker background while hovering over messages.
This feature NEEDS to go. It's jarring and awkward for desktop because it draws too much attention to where your cursor happens to be when it's completely unneeded and distracting from the overall flow of reading messages on discord. This has to be my biggest complaint by far about anything discord has ever done, and especially with this update.
2. Reaction box while hovering over messages.
This is the second worst thing I've ever seen added to discord. The bright coloured emoji's draw attention just like the darkened backgrounds while hovering, but in a secondary way where first you're annoyed by the random darkness, then your eye is drawn further by bright colours which are completely uneeded when the reaction menu works fine on it's own with just the one lightly coloured face we've always had. If the reaction menu button and the three dots for the more options menu were just on the right of a message like the reaction menu used to be without adding a box around it, or having it oddly aligned where it's partially not in line with the message itself(making it even more jarring), it would be fine.
I definitely also don't enjoy the new spacing, and missing lines between messages, but I think those are things I could get past if the first two issues I mentioned weren't a thing.
