Change the UI Back

I've never had any issues with Discord updates before. I've been using the app for years, have had Nitro for most of that time, and bought several cosmetic items from the shop. Never once have I thought to complain about any of the updates that Discord has introduced. This update has changed that.

I cannot begin to describe how much of an active downgrade that this UI update is. The servers are far too small now and strangely boxy when the previous design functioned far better. In the old UI I could easily differentiate the servers and tell which ones I had a notification in. With the current UI I feel that I have to squint to figure out where my new messages are coming from and to differentiate the servers on my list. Though I have glasses, my vision is far from legally blind. I can only imagine what it's like for those more visually impaired than myself.

Speaking of size, the other changes to the UI are strange and frankly terrible. Half the UI feels oversized and overly boxy to the point of disrupting the visual flow where the previous design had no such issues, and changes to much of the text itself feels inscrutably small. The appearance options do little to nothing to actually change the size of any text, and overall the design as a whole is poorly thought out to the point where I cannot begin to fathom why it was approved for launch.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the previous UI. It was clean, concise, flowed nicely and was easy for the eye to follow. This new update has changed every aspect of that for the worse. For the sake of both Discord and it's users, change the UI back.
