Congrats, the new UI changes have me avoiding Discord lately

Discord. Don't fix what isn't broken. You had a perfect piece of software and now you're changing things for the sake of change, or what? The new UI look and behaviors are cluttered and messy, so much so that I've been using Discord much less lately.

  • PLEASE bring back the lines between different users' posts. If you only care about one thing, it should be this.
  • Please change the font back. These two things alone would improve readability and accessibility for those of us with crappy vision.
  • Please undo the weird extension on the Add Reaction/More ...uh, hitbox. Having those three emoji there is completely unnecessary and so far, useless.
  • On mobile: When scrolling back, the bar that says "you're viewing older messages / jump to present" appears much sooner. Why? I know I'm viewing older messages, sometimes I need to catch up on something.
  • And while I'm reviewing older messages, I have the "jump to present" at the bottom and then the purple "n new messages" bar happens at the top. The trouble is, if I hit the x button to close the new message bar, it takes me back down to the most recent post. This duplicates the function of the "jump to present" bar at the bottom. Can you just fix it so that hitting x will close or turn off the purple bar? I don't need two items to do the same thing getting in the way of what I'm trying to read.

    Divider Lines are a MUST. With the accessibility concerns, I'm very shocked they haven't done something about it yet.

    They really needed to add options when they did these awful changes. Ok, change the ordinary experience if you like, but let me tweak it dangit. No, I don't want that dang reaction bar, I've had to disable reactions entirely to get rid of it, even though I used to use those quite a bit. Why would that be forced on everyone without any options at all? Maybe someone wants more quickreacts, or be able to set it to specific reactions, or, like me, maybe they don't want it at all.
