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)
