I thought they seemed like trivial changes as well, although not being a user myself I couldn't really form an opinion.
Still, it should serve as a wakeup call that the users really aren't in charge and that it can potentially suck. It's a taste of things to come whenever Discord decides to more aggressively monetize themselves for instance.
But apparently the conclusion was more that they should insult the devs on twitter and reddit instead.
- IntelMiner 5y agoI use Discord (grudgingly) and I have to admit I did not, and do not, give a single shit about the change. It's a god damn icon for like 99% of people I guess some people just want to sit and gawk at their start menu for hours on end and Discords change has broken that zen-like meditation for them or something
- Zancarius 5y agoI feel it's a classic example of bikeshedding. Except this is 2021, so the obvious solution is apparently harassment, anger, and vitriol. Someone up-thread made mention of the stylistic changes being problematic for people with visual impairment or low vision, which would seem to me to be a much more serious issue than a stupid icon. But, what do I know? When they announced the change, I had an incredibly difficult time feeling anything other than indifference. Why people would be upset is beyond me.
