You should have seen how mad people were over the time Discord slightly changed the shade of the icon

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

Sure thing grandpa, let’s get you to bed. Joe Biden can’t hurt you there.

They’ve just seen this as an excuse to stop paying Nitro.
laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
They could just stop anytime, they don’t have to justify it

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

It messes with a ton of my common actions and doesn’t make them better. Things being hidden behind weird actions now. Some of it will just require me to get used to it, but some of it seems genuinely more cumbersome to perform.

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.

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)

Data density in UX has been downhill since Microsoft Office added the ribbon in 2007.
deweydecibel@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Seems to be the consistent theme now. Legitimately, no app seems to want to have its own visual identity anymore, it’s all the same shit, in white or black. It’s depressingly lifeless and Corporate Memphis levels of inauthentic.

I just looked at the change, fully-prepared to feel outraged and claim they’re changing things just to change them.
Nah. It’s a fantastic, logical change imo.

If they had kept the server menu on the messages tab it would’ve been better, they also removed a bunch of normal menu actions and hid them and completely obstructed other things.
It would’ve been a logical change if they cared even a little bit more.

puttin buttons at the top is a terrible ux for mobile apps

Wait what change are we talking about? I don’t see any huge changes on iOS.

They roll out slowly, you’ll get it eventually
Carnelian@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The update just came out pretty much, you’ll know when you get it
laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Outside of a minor appearance change, they moved direct messages out of the server list and into their own space (never understood why they did it that way before), and added a way to quickly reply to a message at the expense of having to tap the channel name to see the member list instead of swiping… I’m missing how this is a massive change here and how it significantly impacts usability…
kattenluik@feddit.nl 1 year ago
They hid a bunch of things behind menus, multiple button taps and separated two parts of Discord while they shouldn’t be. Even ignoring all those useless changes, if they had just kept the server bar on the messages tab it would’ve been fine.
