So to save you time, does it look good? No. Does everyone hate it? Yes.

Another issue I need to say: the old layout also made it easier for those with motor skill issues and disabilities, I am incredibly shaky and I have a lot of issues when it comes to using apps, with this new one it’s practically impossible for me to use

[Axoleah]

I’m urging everyone to send your complaints about the UI on the feedback site. This isn’t just an aesthetic change - it’s a change that negatively functions accessibility for MANY, many people.

[chipsterthekid]

They should’ve made it an optional layout, and the OG should’ve been under “Classic” while the new layout be under “Modern”.

imagine discord if they actually listened to us

[acazle]

i hate that you have to either have it on dark mode (which is too dark) or light mode (too bright) BRING BACK THE OLD DISCORD COLOR

[ZiozoneEmperor]

We really are entering an era where every website, app, whatever are changing for worse interfaces and not caring for feedback, just riding on the passage of time until the hate subsides, it's disgusting

[nyawyn]

the member list swipe thing is diabolical

[sabresnowleopardaj]

Old layout was much more easier to navigate and less confusing.

[Minionbanana]

I miss when it was just an Easter egg. Now it’s just permanent and I just hate it.

[Redw_lf]

Only update I'm looking forward to is a toggle option to the old lay-out AT LEAST

Edit: okay guys but we need it back

[AddiTakesSouls]

This update is so incredibly bad, have been using the same layout for the past 4 years & now they change the whole thing to something similar to amino which is disgusting, and they should reconsider public opinion to bring it back.

At this point now, changing the logo, username system & now the layout ruined what made discord unique at whole.

Edit: it's better to just not become like the twitter stans & get along with the update, maybe it's not that bad in the end.

[The-Guy-Who-Asked]

Its laggier and its a little more difficult to navigate, old one was simple and easy

[RailwayKing]

I swear every update starts out with people complaining, then they start getting used to it. But for *THIS* ? No

[HoveringHexagons]

They call it "Improved", but all they've done is make EVERYTHING more difficult to navigate, more buttons to get to BASIC THINGS, making the layout confusing, and just making it TERRIBLE.

As a person that relies on my moter skills because of my disability this update is horrible. i will strictly be using discord on my computer for a while. i have put this app above the rest of social media apps for a long time and it hurts to see it become something it really isnt. it went from "a fun place to be" to just "a place to be"

[Midrule]

The member list is just inconvenient now. Not only is it slower and more annoying to get into. They completely removed offline members being greyed out. You can't just easily tell at a glance who's actually online anymore. Having to tap a small button on the top of the screen just to get into that tab makes its more annoying on larger servers where you can't just move between them anymore

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

[CertifiedPotMoment]

As far as how I don't like the new update, perhaps Discord should add in an option to switch between both the old and new layout Rather than force everyone in to using it

[Knockoff_Zacian]

I wanna know why they thought removing the New Layout toggle was a good idea it was so unnecessary to do and only made it inconvenient for many of us
