New Discord Update: gO BACK
On mobile it doesn't make a difference but on the desktop app/browser it really makes a difference in terms of organizing the page. Also, the way the individual messages are highlighted when you hover over them is already too much bUT ON TOP OF THAT there's now the reactions that automatically come up on the hover as well. Too much. If the update won't revert, please give us the option to use an older version of the update or make it a preference thing that one can change in appearance and settings.

Bold of any of you to assume they care about what people have to say/think.
As long as it looks "trendy" and "hip", that's all they care about. It doesn't matter how stupidly clunky it looks, or how they shamelessly ignore peoples complaints, what matters is that the CEO's and higherups like how it looks. /We do not matter to them/. This and the fact that we've never been allowed to go back to previous updates is clear evidence of that. What a sorry state.1 -
The timestamps overlap with text and emoji for me.
It's making me beyond irritated and I am thinking of canceling my nitro on my main account because of this.
If this formating isn't fixed within a week I am going back to steam groups or something lol.4 -
the spacing hurts my eyes, i like the bar separating each persons message, this chat is to clustered

Please just make these changes optional in the appearance setting. Having a giant reaction bar hovering over everything is really distracting. Love the idea though!

Many things feel off and unintuitive in the update, but I would just like to let people know that there is a new slider in the "Appearance" settings that allows you to change the spacing between messages back, or at least close to the previous look.
The new 'unread' marker is must more difficult to notice as well. the extra spacing really made it stand out more than just blend in as it does now with the red line, and the tiny 'unread' word on the RIGHT SIDE, making it more tedious to notice as well due to reading from left to right.
I see what they were going for with showing the most used emoji's above a highlighted message but I feel it clogs the message screen a little and is distracting. Same with how a message gets highlighted when you scroll over it. It just feels distracting to the eye. Perhaps a feature such as left clicking once on an image to highlight it would function better? if not, remove the feature entirely.
Overall, I feel many design choices are questionable, and should probably be looked into more due to the outcry from the community.

Another problem is how LOW the messages go on the screen. I have my discord window maximized and I have to look at the bottom of my screen to see the latest messages. It wasn't like that before. Who tested it and thought "yeah this is ok, let's go.". The fact that I wake up to this shit update + my internet failing me for no reason + laptop issues + CS:GO issues + my life going downhill just makes me want to wish we were never alive to pull this garbage off to ourselves. Honestly.

Absolutely horrible.

Instead of this UI update, why don't you start thinking about having a customizable UI. Different backgrounds, custom colors, etc.. It would be more in the community's interest if you did that. If you don't like BetterDiscord and similar, why wouldn't you stomp out the competition?

Update makes the desktop app feel clunky and distracting; it was very smooth feeling before the update, please change it back I beg you.

This really makes me want to take a break from discord before it leaves

I can't bear to really use the platform with the way it looks now, it strains my eyes horribly. Nothing about this decision improved Discord's functionality, it just gave people headaches.1 -
i usually don't hate on their updates but this one changed a lot of thing and it is really dumb
3 -
I've been tempted to quit Discord since they changed the layout of the friends list by stacking everybody together and organizing by status, in addition to this enormous panel that's useless for me. That "now playing" panel is constantly empty because I hardly know anyone who has a computer capable of running games.
Now that they completely removed capability of even reading messages by removing the dividers and adding this obnoxious reaction line to messages, I just want to uninstall the app.
I liked Discord about five versions ago. Get rid of that gaming panel in the friends list (or add the option to remove it since some people do like it), realign text to the way it was and implement the dividers again. Also, get rid of that reactions line. Nobody wants that, and it literally covers up the text if it's a particularly long message.

I literally can't edit messages anymore.
The three dots from the options button don't even show.
This update is terrible.2 -
As much as I get you guys want to bring something new and all but at least consider adding an option where a person can simply choose between using the old default UI or the new UI because this new update is complete garbage. .
4 -
They should stop trying to fix stuff that doesnt need fixing. the update is ugly as hell
2 -
Revert it back!! everything WAS PERFECT!!!!
please note that i rarely comment. therefore, i am highly considering switching to another platform if it doesn't get resolved.

It must took a lot of effort to update but it would be like nice as others said give us opinion to choose new or old interface or return to what it used to be.
It bothers me a lot when a bright red line inserted into middle of message like it doesn't not even match the discord theme colour.
Moreover, I think the hover effect is too much for me because this made me feel like I will accidentally click something. Not only the hover effect make me think so but also the stickers next to it that gives reaction. I rather click multiple times to get a proper sticker than sending unwanted reaction to someone accidentally. The hover thing/effect on message made me feel like I will accidentally clicked something in Photoshop but didn't know if it did something. I don't know if you get the same feelings as me but I just think the message doesn't need that much feedback and it wasn't really clean at all. It would be nice discord will consider our opinion. I like how discord always update and improve but this is my first time I have opinion with the new update.

Discord loves shoving reactions up our throats, WHAT WEB DESIGNER FOUND IT COOL To split messages, Please offer us a option to use the old GUI. Are they trying to aim for a mobile interface for mobile users to read or something, im sure theyre small screens wont see it

Stop shoving reactions down our throat Discord.
Shoving reactions down our throats is obnoxious.1 -
Am begging you guys plz plz revert back I've been discord nitro for 2 years am I really going give it up because of new possibly it is very nasty and awful

it's so cramped and ugly, it's actively hard to read messages now

Messaged them on twitter and got no response, as I usually do. Cool.
0 -
Literally have never sent feedback on anything before until now lol
I have a reading disability and the way the messages are compacted, esp towards the bottom of the screen, are really killing me. It's so difficult to focus on it.
At least give us the option to customize how much space we have between the bar and messages between different friends/members of serversI've only had this update for 2 hours and it's been driving me absolutely insane lmao

Please consider undoing this last update. Having all those options pop up for each message as the mouse travels around the window really is distracting and unnecessary
