Discord users are cancelling their Nitro after new mobile layout update

Source: like 7 people on twitter X

Personally, I think the update is a genuine improvement. Everything is more intuitive, and labels for the UI was very much needed.

Every time I open discord it just generates popups about features.

Its fucking annoying.

Odd, I was pretty happy when I got the update. I always thought it was odd that servers and PMs were mixed somewhat in the UI, and hard to distinguish between.

People just don't like things being different than they were ig.

Or is there another change I didn't notice that had people bothered?

Imagine paying for Discord in the first place

Wait, the new UI I got yesterday? With the servers and messages finally finally separated? I like it personally. I struggle to find my DMs on the desktop app vs servers and never found the overall UI intuitive. I am usually the first to get upset over UI changes (looking at you Google Messages!), but for once I am happy.

Wait, really? It's not even that big a change! That's a hell of a thing to cut and run for

Discord offers subscriptions and micro transactions in a chat app. This is the future of everything thanks to people going "oh it's not so bad".

I always initially hate UI changes, will make my decision in a few days if I like it

This is honestly just people hating it because its different? There is no feature removal, its just built differently. Also i find it disgusting that THIS is why people are boycotting nitro. Imagine being comfortable supporting probably the largest service hosting CSAM (and not doing much about it) but drawing the line at it taking an extra tap to view server members.

The UI changes are horrible. They make it so it takes more taps to get to places. Idk who is in charge of that but they need to reevaluate things. Also paying for discord is hilarious. But people unsubscribing is the only way they might roll back.

One Google search on Dextero and I will pass one using it as a source of information.

although i use a different mobile client that's built on older code (aliucord for those curious!), i still tried out the new update and it isn't terrible imo. what i mainly don't like is the server list and dms being completely seperate now, how spaced out things are, the swipe to reply feature, the members + pinned messages list being moved, how messages don't have a smooth little transition/animation when you send them. there are some things i like, like how in the members/pinned messages list theres a media and links tab now.. and other things i don't remember right now lol, but the cons outweigh the pros for me.. back to aliucord i go :p

huh, I opted into the new layout months ago. I got use to it quickly.

Edit: I went back to discord to find the server tray/drawer the beta had disappeared. If this is the final version, I’m surprised people are upset. The drawer was the most radical change.

I'll never understand why companies try to force major changes without giving users the chance to opt out, at least for a while.

Edit: -1 for an uncontroversial personal opinion. The hivemind is strong today.

Yeah it is bad.

I cancelled my nitro years ago because what exactly is the benefits that I can’t do with being a freeloader? Besides I’m sure they scrape all my data anyways

I dont understand the outrage. It's slightly different, oh no. Back in my day, we used a shitty bright white Windows 95 style UI voice chat program called Ventrilo, and WE LIKED IT.

I'm glad I can use a custom client on Android.

It already took too long to go to DMs from the base screen. They really need the ability to have a favorite list that includes both.

How do I persuade my friends to switch to Mumble? x]

Discord design team has been utterly useless since they changed to the dark theme being the default in like 2016

they just tried to justify their overstay and over-payment by changing shit for the sake of changing it

if people werent lazy such lazy apathetic blobs i could have left the platform years ago.

I managed to get barely a hundred people to switch from a 3k server and after a couple of weeks most stopped talking altogether, internet communication sucks man.

What I hate is the new button art or icon style or whatever, it's more bubbly and less readable at a glance now.

Is it bad if I liked the change? I don't use discord too much though

I fucking hate UI changes

Updated today, don't see a difference.

If you want to destroy my sweater app, hold this thread, as we walk away

Actually black theme already won me over

Don't get how anyone likes the new UI. I downloaded the regular discord app (I use Aliucord,fortunately still on old UI) real quick and literally could not figure where anything was.

I can't believe people on here unironically use discord. I thought only zoomers and pajeets were it's userbase.

@L4s when i really need it, i use roze.lol

otherwise, nothing there is worth it
