Discord. The user experience there is just better than all the competition regardless if you like FOSS alternatives more. It’s clean, it’s fast, it’s feature rich and works well.
Never understood this. The new app is a big improvement and you can now easily swap between servers, notifications, and DMs in the bottom row rather than having to scroll all the way up in your server list.
Fast? Clean? The new app is a stuttery, cluttered mess with more ad popups than a 2010 video streaming site and more framedrops than crysis. Until a few days ago I still used the oooold app and it was much better.
It has ads? I guess my adblocker works then.
4 different “buy nitro” “try new animated stickers” “have you bought a new profile background yet?” popups at the same time are also ads.
using clients like vendetta makes discord little better in android
Similarly, for desktop, vencord
My problem with it is how slow is now. It freezes up and I have to close it and reopen it constantly now otherwise I would love it because it makes sense where they moved things for mobile.
“Enshittification” is the hip new way of saying “I don’t like ,” the term is rapidly becoming enshittified.
If the majority of users don’t like your update, it’s shit.
I should add: many users likely aren’t vocal. However this doesn’t really count as the people who actually care about the quality of the product will be the ones reporting issues, and this demographic does not always line up with the reviewer demographic.
But that’s my point, the term “enshittification” used to mean a very particular kind of thing-people-don’t-like. Not just a general “I don’t like it.”
It’d be like if the term “boring” started being used to signify any kind of disapproval. “Abortion is boring!” People might say. Or “my car keeps leaking oil, it’s so boring.” “The Supreme Court has turned boring! It’s making its decisions based on partisan allegiance rather than the law!”
“Boring” would lose its original specific meaning in this scenario. It was a useful meaning, so I would find that rather unfortunate.
The new app requires more effort to perform basic actions.
As a daily user, I don’t care what other benefits it may provide. If using the app becomes more difficult, it’s a bad update. End of.
I was using the “sparkle✨️” UI. It was way better than the current UI. It had moved the server sidebar to the bottom of the screen, like a dock. I miss it. I am no longer able to use Discord one-handed. The UI update removed it from the app.
my sparkle UI didn’t change between it, it just moved everyone else to it, so I’m not sure what happend with yours
Discord has and will always be trash, it’s just that they do everything okay, and nothing good. I suppose bots are cool.
Also, nobody in the history of the world has wanted to swipe a message to the right to reply.
