The New User Interface Is Too Difficult To Use

Pins exist for a reason. I just had to do so many steps to get to the pins of a channel. I can no longer require people to copy something out of the pins then paste it to answer verification questions. It is too difficult to expect anyone to go through all the taps and scrolling necessary to carry out that instruction. 

Swiping left to reply to a message instead of showing the names list makes it incredibly easy to accidentally reply to something you don't want to reply to, and has the potential to just make people angry. Having the userlist visible easily is absolutely necessary so people can easily view who is a moderator.

The changes that you have made to the UI increase the level of difficulty in using the mobile app to an unacceptable level. You need to change it back to how it was, and do not “fix” what is not broken.
