RustyNova,

A few things changed:

  • DMs are now accessible by the menu bar on the bottom. Before it was at the top of the server list
  • user list is now only accessible by pressing a button on top of the screen
  • swipe on a message to reply to it.
  • colours have been tweaked to be less contrasted

As for my thoughts:

  • IDC about DMs
  • I look at the user list more often than I reply to people, so I rather swipe to see it. Even more than before, replying only needed a long tap on the message that would be in thumb reach, and now you needed to stretch out your thumb to reach the user list button (that is a search icon)
  • I don’t suffer from any particular contrast eye issues, but for those that does, contrast is pretty important.
  • No communication. This update breaks a lot of muscles memory, and it’s forced upon you even if you don’t like it. The old UX was completely fine too.
  • desktop/mobile discrepancy. Before, mobile was a lot like desktop, but now some thing are moved and you need to learn two interfaces
  • There is talks that it’s more buggy and slower than before, but I can’t objectively prove it

If you like the new ui, then that’s great. But there’s clearly people who don’t for great reasons.

RustyNova,

There is no switch back button anymore. Your time will come soon
