I’m gonna preface this with I haven’t used discord in a year or so.
It’s kinda fun watching a new generation go through their first redesign outrage.
Youtube should still have the description over there👉. Putting it down there 👇 will always suck
I use theatre mode so I don’t care about that, but I remember back when you could customize YT Channel background art and set colors and transparency values, cool times.
what’s wrong with it
if you mean the mobile one, it’s a pretty great upgrade
Seems very ok, did not give me any strong opinions after a minute.
Update:
Did they get rid of the server user list?
One of my favorite things about discord was the fact that your experience was similar on both mobile and desktop. I honestly thought it was fantastic from a UX perspective since your knowledge of the app transferred easily between platforms. The new update destroys that and tosses out a large amount of shared knowledge.
Another, more important, complaint is the changes to the colors/themes makes the accessibility significantly worse no matter what theme you use for anyone with eye issues. They changed the light mode font to gray??? They reduced the contrast on the other modes significantly making it genuinely difficult to read text on a MESSAGING APP.
To me this whole thing, and the earlier username changes, feel like changing for the sake of changing rather than actually improving anything. This is just for the shareholders and not because literally anyone asked for it.
Also why is dms it’s own tab I really liked that they were listed next to the servers!
Mobile apps aren’t supposed to work like desktop ones tho.
text is already impossible to read for me due to the font. idk every time i try to switch to the new react native version i go back because text takes me like 4-6 attempts to read.
It annoys me to no extent when there’s something I could do in 5 seconds on the desktop version of an app but I can’t find it on the mobile version because they hid things. Microsoft is soooo annoying with this (and many other things because fuck them)! Every version of each of their apps on every platform is an entirely different program with the same name that barely even does the same functions.
As for the text, this is a problem they could’ve solved! And instead they made it worse while also making the UX worse! Every update from discord recently has made the app more and more buggy and slow. I genuinely don’t understand how they manage it.
Good advice, I’d follow it
Honestly I like the new UI. Takes a bit of getting used to after knowing the old one for so long but it makes more sense in the end.
The channel switcher, one of my most frequently used features, is now hidden away on top of the channel list instead of a prominent place in the middle of the bottom bar of the swipe-right menu. Going from a DM conversation to a specific channel, instead of “swipe right, tap channel switcher” (so I can type 3 letters of the channel name and switch to it) became “swipe left, tap ‘servers’ twice, tap the search box”. I like most of the other changes, but this really irks me and makes my mobile discording much less efficient :(
u may use Aliucord
I also use aliucord and it helps but it’s against TOS so who knows our accounts could get banned any day
I have security concerns with an app that’s been modified by a 3rd party, not to mention it’s an ancient version as well.
You can downgrade to version 199.15 to get rid of the new ui without using a third party modified client
