this is by far THE WORST discord update i have ever seen
Discussiona lot of people were praising the changes here from what i recall, seems like the crowd is very mixed. while there are some aspects that i think are fine- i personally dislike the minimalist style theyre going for.
good for them if they liked the new change but if it was me i'd let ppl choose to turn it on and off, maybe even we could be able to customize our view of other ppl's profiles idk
Yeah, it'd all fun and games until you actually have to write code and you find out it's not so easy
Exactly, its not easy. Soo why does discord have UI changes 3 times in a single year? The new profile one doesn't bother me, but discord currently is just making pointless "features" and spamming more background effects to pay for those
i would prefer it too but i think it becomes a major hassle when there's important changes needed to be made across all users (for example, the badges being shifted below the display name)
i agree its not a good update, but "THE WORST"? hell nah
the worst one was the earlier one, where they reverted the dms in the sidebar
you mean the mobile UI reverting to old DM list? that revert was good lol
How is not separating dms from the servers good? It's really bad design, and there is room in the bottom bar that can be used
Discord slightly changing its layout is my personal 9/11.
I hate minimalism with all my soul
but the profiles look cute though :(
You must be really delusional or simply too naive my dude. Even if it would look "cute" as you say - using the new layout is really inconvenient and sometimes even annoying. Like I get your taste, but seriously - you have to say that for the bot devs/server moderators+admins and other people like us, it's tough now to see someone's their full role list in their mini-profile. It's really infuriating...
I think would be better if there were an eye candy option to turn on or turning off for people who likes minimalism, what I hate about that is they force to all of us to eat that at every platform. (And they should cuz there is alot of people paying for a custom profile)
Thanks to facebook popularity, minimalism went over old forums (not reddit) then, other social media and finally over 99% websites and is just annoying, I dont want discord to look as facebook or instagram, its annoying af
its possible to make them cute while not making it minimalist btw- to me the previous style was cute as well

yeah somehow those kind of people that think that they know society are almost everywhere in every single company. how could someone make endless mistakes and still never learn about what people actually want and what they care about.
i'd rather they never ever make another update for discord than keep ruining it with the most useless stuffs that yeah exactly : NOBODY ASKS

Did you really have to inject gender topics into this?
...what? What gives you the impression that Discord are hiring unqualified trans women? Are they hiring unqualified people? Maybe. I couldn't tell you. But why are you bringing gender into this?
DEI
You're too deep into the rabbit hole. Christ
Yeah, ok bro.
What about DEI gives you this impression?
You hire people based on factors other than their merit. If you meet the standards you get more ESG funding. From investment firms like blackrock and vanguard.
Chill
Is there a known way to revert it in settings or client modifications yet?
client-mods can set the "Simplified Profiles Experiment" flag to "Control" for now... but once the experiment flag is removed it will need a full on mod to revert.
Eh? What’s wrong? Did something change?
yes. i haven't looked into the mobile version, but the pc layout has changed. the profiles are displayed much differently.
Aaah, I see the difference now. Meh. Doesn’t feel that drastic. Yeah, it’s different and it’ll take time to get used to, but horrible? Idk. What makes it horrible to you?
So far I've noticed 2 things, it's more annoying to use and it's WAY laggier what the hell
Idk about annoying to use but laggier? What sort of pc are you using? I didn’t see anything lag discord.
I don't know why but for the past week now and for many others discord has had lag issues, if it stays in the background it freezes and I have to bring it up wait 5 seconds till it unfreezes, profiles now have the exact same issue
Huh. I see. Probably not related to the update then, or at least the profile update because I only saw the profile update today.
The worst you’ve seen…so far.
The profiles on PC/Mac are absolutely awful now, they had no reason to change the profiles to that. They were perfect how they were!
I like it sue me
oh noooooo!
anyway.
well isn’t it there to prevent massive profiles with a bunch of roles that go off the screen?
I'm starting to wonder if they thought about nitro users AT ALL, because everyone's profile looks kind of the same now, what's the point of having nitro to have a cool silly profile if your profile is barely a thing anymore.
I initially bought it for the boosts, but now I don't need it anymore and kept it for the profile customization, if this is actually permanent I will finally cancel my subscription.
If you’re about to throw up over the design of a profile it’s about time you get off the internet for a little bit.
He isn't being literal
No shit sherlock
Yeah idk about a discord change affecting someone this much. May be time to log off lol
I dunno man, not getting hit with an entire screen worth of roles sounds like a plus to me.
Bro it doesn't matter what discord does reddit is the first place where there's complaining. If you think it's bad then stop using it bro
This is true, people dont like change. Whilst I don't know if the new update is actually bad or not (haven't seen it), my initial reaction would also be to complain (not on reddit just irl) before actually looking at the positives (not saying that those are always there though, considering we still haven't gotten swipe to view members back on mobile)
Typical Reddit downvoting, anyways I agree
Not saying I agree with op but that's a bad response because lots of friends, history you loose and just the hassle of switching.
yes I totally agree you lose history and friends but like complaining on reddit about EVERY update won't change anything. First we ask for something. Discord delivers. And then people say it sucks?
So true
You must be fun at parties…
It really isn’t that big of a deal. A substantial amount of people like the change.
ironically i kinda like the idea of it, though im not a minimalisy
I am a minimalist
I swear for every little change Discord make to the UI, there’re like thousands of people here complaining about it just because “it’s different”
When there's a forced UI change that doesn't improve on anything at all, obviously people are going to complain.
Everything that’s new needs time to get used to it. I just think most Discord users doesn’t give that time to decide if it’s good or not
Why the fuck do I have a notification button down on the phone version and no DM button 😒
