Comment on Discord users are cancelling their Nitro after new mobile layout update
locuester@lemmy.zip 11 months agoI’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.
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.

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.
