Come on Discord! What's with this update?

AL

I have never gave feedback until today.  This update bothers me and many other people, just look at all the posts.

1. Emoji pop-up & darkening of messages is really distracting & not everyone uses emojis often.
2. With the Message Dividers (lines) gone it looks really clustered & gives some people anxiety.
3. New Message Notification looks really weird to myself, thought it's not as much of a problem.

These should be made into options in settings.

When a company doesn't listen to it's community is usually goes downhill. I have been using Discord for 2 years now and it's about the only chat site I use, and this years updates have just got worse and worse... the Activity Feed should have also been made into an option but that's another subject.   

Some comparisons  (Sorry for bad quality and I couldn't find the old Message edit/emoji/etc)Thank you for clicking on this post.  Please give Discord Feedback about this issue!

    Discord has made a few minor UI changes in the past that were bad but if this doesn't get reverted or made optional I'm going to have issues using Discord. It's is actually infuriating how bad the new UI is.

    Can confirm on the anxiety thing. 
    This new ui is genuinely painful to look at for me. 
    It's literally giving me cursed vibes.

    I am massively uncomfy. Discord p l e a s e revert it.

    Broke a bunch of custom css and generally made the whole experience feel like crap. It's not hard to just keep the current ui

    They should really make the amoled thing a full thing and not just partial as it looks like shit tbh I hate the new ui it looks bad :/

    I personally like the new UI, however I agree with the notion that Discord should actually use their UI settings. How difficult would it really be to implement a toggle for lined mode vs no lines?
    For the time being, some things you can do to decrease anxiety are:
    Increasing space between messages (max spacing makes it the same as old Discord) and adjusting your zoom levels to make Discord a more comfortable experience for you.
