L4sBotDiscord users are cancelling their Nitro after new mobile layout update
Laurel RavenWait, really? It’s not even that big a change! That’s a hell of a thing to cut and run for
It’s quite a massive change and significantly impacts usability in a lot of cases and it also makes Discord no different from any other app.
If they had just kept the server list in the direct messages view this would’ve been way less worse.
I’m so confused. When I got this unexpected change I was so excited. This is exactly what’s been wrong with the UX in that app. It’s so much clearer now
The fundamental disconnect here seems to be some people think apps being “clearer” makes them better, regardless of how much functionality is hidden or straight up lost.
And that’s not just about Discord, that’s the theme across the board, it seems. Some people want aesthetics, some people want usability, and UX designers nowadays seems hellbent on pissing off the latter.
Data density in UX has been downhill since Microsoft Office added the ribbon in 2007.
But the only thing I see changed is that “dm” was moved to the bottom bar instead of the server list (which made no sense)
