To everyone complaining about the updates; it's likely that after a week or so you will just get used to the new layout and won't even think about it anymore.

Personally, I have no issues with the update. Took about 5 mins to understand the changes move on. I also welcome the true black theme. Will save a decent amount of battery on my phone.

I heavily disagree with you. People who get annoyed by certain ui changes always will, I still hate YouTube's new layout multiple years later.

There are always people getting annoyed by changes, doesn't matter what the changes are. Sometimes I get the impression that humans just need something to be annoyed about.

How about not fucking around with UI just so some manager can meet the yearly bonus?

Keeping something that's difficult to maintain and cannot integrate well with new features isn't how software works.

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago

It is absolutely not about difficulty to maintain or feature issues, it 100% comes down to different ways to funnel you where they want you.

If your UI/UX elements have that deep ties with your deeper stack your codebase has big issues.

Old.reddit vs new....

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Honestly great example.

[–] ilickfrogs@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I wouldn't really use that comparison. The discord update resembles the old one. But old reddit and new reddit are damn near unrecognizable to one another.

Revanced helps with the atrocious youtube experience

Honestly it's desktop that drives me insane though. I remember I used to have it hard linked to an old hack that used the old layout still, but they took that away a while ago now.

I was in this same boat until I realized I can't send images from mobile right now and looking around for others talking about it, there were complaints that images they sent were sent to the wrong people or chats. If true, that's insanely incompetent for a business or their size.

Oh shit I was just fighting this I didn't even bother googling it tho cause I just thought discord was being jank for me Not it being a everyone problem

Kindof shows how common this is for me lmao

Knowing how their desktop app works on Linux (or more specifically doesn't and requires you to mingle with it if you want any degree of Wayland awareness) it doesn't surprise me their app remake (because it's not just a redesign) is total garbage. I hope they get around to fixing the performance and bugs; but as things are right now I'm staying on Vendetta and refuse to update.
