The UI of Youtube is actually not bad. What is bad is how the search function has gone to shit, constant promotion of youtube Shorts taking up half the screen, and the algorithm getting steadily worse at recommending videos.
The interface itself is pretty easy to navigate.Youtube 2012 loaded in 1 second on a 5MBit line. HTML, CSS and JS for a page was a few hundred kilobytes.
You can profile the current “responsive” version in your browser. It might not look horrible but it’s a technical abomination. I doubt it’ll even load anymore in a browser from 2012.
100% certain that if they kept their 2012 UI, we’d be complaining about how outdated their UI is.
No? That would be true if we were the Twitter community. But, for Lemmy, I am pretty sure most people that are on Lemmy fancy Reddit’s outdated old.reddit.com UI as well because it’s more simple. Things are much lighter, but still work.
The discord UI was great. And then they made it ugly and slow as fuck.
Honestly, I find it pretty decent. I only wish I could see timestamps per message on the new UI
I refuse to do the username change so I get the pop-up every time a client opens up. It’s lovely.
I’ve been using aliucord
Thanks a lot for that tip. The UI is Vetter and its also mich faster.
Yeah it takes as much bloat away as possible. On my linux system I use webcord. My friend showed me their discord app and I was so confused. I forgot I wasn’t on Discord’s official app
Anyone who thinks that these three have the worst UI possible has never had to deal with a really bad UI. Try Sharepoint on for size. Or Azure. Or Jira. And there’s likely still way worse stuff than those.
Jira got too useful for its own good.
What’s bad about discord?
It’s not good, but I guess it isn’t too bad.
But I imagine they’re referring to the new mobile UI, which is a mess.
Yeah, Mobile UI
I’ve always thought their desktop UI to be trash too. It would definitely surprise me if I could use any discord feature without a struggle
Trash UI
Mozilla should be there, right in the middle.
Which software? If you are talking about Firefox. You can customize it easily as you want using Firefox-CSS.
Right. That’s how you get more users: by telling them to fix themselves your shitty UI by using CSS. Genius move.
You can use Firefox Theme made by community. Here’s my favorite one.
Much easier voting with my wallet and using a different browser altogether.
I enjoy the irony that you’re this obsessed with hating something you never paid for and then consider it voting with your wallet.
I remember you from: every other thread where you can shoehorn in your weird Mozilla hate
I tagged this user in Boost as “Mozilla hater” because hating Mozilla is their personality
Peak lemmy 👏
You’re losing ground. Only -3700 now :'(
Maybe lemmy is turning facisist?
lol yeah you are the global symbol for anti-fascism and anyone opposed is fascist.
You never know!
Discord’s UI is bad?
The mobile app
mobile app is super bad.
Steams is bad too.
All these services had decent, simple, sleek UIs.
and then some dumb motherfucker came in and was all “K.I.S.S.? Whats that? We don’t need that trash! Lets make it flashy and stupid and annoying to use!”

How do I get to my messages? Who knows?! How do I see the people on the server that used to be an easy swipe away?
They changed functionality. I don’t mind a refresh, but they actually got rid of things and moved them around. It’s really annoying to use.

It’s actually optimized for them. The goal is to get users to spend time and see ads etc. The UI is not made for us users.
There are no ads in discord, there’s really no point to force the new UI on everyone.
Well: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/discord-starts-down-the-dangerous-road-of-ads-this-week/
Edit: it’s more loot box stuff… but it’s step one
You forgot Spotify
GIMP
How do you have these listed and not the myriad of FOSS products that are garbage to use.
Y’all remember mumble? Easy peasy compared to discord amirite?

But Mumble is not a Discord alternative, it’s a TeamSpeak alternative.
👌👍
