So I'm a little confused. Did anyone else who has updated discord get this weird new layout?
@Kaliah So my iPhone 8 doesn't have it, so it'll be interesting to see if my 2020 SE gets it.
@BTyson That's so weird. Why did I get it then
@Kaliah It could be a gradual rollout. As an example, the App Store only showed that I could update to 193.1 even though you have 194.
@BTyson Yeah. Maybe it is. I really wish I could go back though because I don't like or want it, like I've said 35 thousand times.
@Kaliah You could write a review in the App Store about it.
@BTyson as if that'll go anywhere. Still probably not going to make a difference because it probably looks good, and that's what matters to people. Forget accessibility, this looks better, so it must be better
@TheQuinbox @BTyson My problem is exactly that. I don't want DM's in their own tab. I really don't. I prefer them at the top above the servers. And I also don't want my servers at the bottom of the screen as a second tab bar. Oh and did I mention that, if you have more than like 4 servers, you have to click an extra button to see the rest? I have lots of problems with the new interface.
@TheQuinbox @BTyson I never had any problems with that. The servers were scrolled down the left side of the screen and I could touch on them, and the channels were in the right. Clicking on servers and stuff would change the channels in the right. That's simple and easy. This just makes it complicated.
@TheQuinbox @BTyson Nope, they totally are. And I liked them by that. Also you think the swipe order was weird in the old layout, just wait until you see the new one. It's completely fucked up there too. I used the old interface by touch exploring, which is why I liked it.
@Kaliah @TheQuinbox I have to incorporate explore by touch into my use of Discord even to not run the risk of the app crashing if there's a long message.
@Kaliah @TheQuinbox It's still weird that you never had the app crash completely when hitting a long message, whereas both me and Kaliah do, I think. Although 194 hasn't been offered for my SE yet.
@BTyson @Kaliah Also like. Submitting feedback is far more productive than bitching on Mastodon. Discord has consistently shown that they actually do care. There have been updates that horribly broke things, like the one where the server list just straight up didn't read, but it was fixed *extremely* quickly after I notified them. It's entirely possible that the new UI design people have 0 ties to the accessibility people. Is that kinda bad? Sure, but how are they going to know that if we don't *tell* them that? That's what I did for Clubhouse, too. Complained on Mastodon to alert people, then actually told them, and encouraged others to do the same.
@TheQuinbox @BTyson If there is a good way to submit feedback where people will actually see it and care, I'd gladly do that. App store reviews have never gone anywhere for me though, which is why I didn't. But if they have some other better way I'll bring this up for sure.
@Kaliah @TheQuinbox It would probably be good to try that link Quin just sent.
@BTyson @TheQuinbox I am right now. I'm not sure which category it'd go in though, help and support maybe. Also does this link have any ties to email? If it does I won't be able to do it because my discord is linked to my old email I can't access.
@Kaliah @TheQuinbox I'm a bit nervous though, because I did use a page to try to report the lack of a way to change TTS voices and they just pinged it back that it's Microsoft's fault. I was really dissatisfied.
@TheQuinbox @Kaliah But how? They support both OneCore and SAPI (Discord does), you have to break all the other voices in your registry to get it to use the one you want if it's not what Discord preselects. Changing the preference in Settings>Time and Language>Speech, or Control Panel/Text-to-speech, has no effect on Discord.
@Kaliah @TheQuinbox But for example, with Cyclepath, playing in my browser, I changed the selection in Control Panel and it respected it.
@Kaliah @TheQuinbox Ouch. I wish it worked more consistently. I don't recall which browser it was but I think it was at least Cromium-based. And my thinking was, it worked in Cyclepath in a Cromium browser, so why does it not work the same in Discord, since Discord's also Cromium-based? Does that make sense why I'm confused?
@Kaliah @TheQuinbox So are you saying you think that Electron apps have different permissions than a Cromium browser, even though both use Cromium?
@TheQuinbox @Kaliah This is good to know and I'll definitely take a look. Is the Cyclepath installer still available?
@Kaliah @TheQuinbox Thanks! :)
@TheQuinbox @BTyson I noticed that. It was confusing me so much.
@TheQuinbox @Kaliah I manually fixed it for this one. I'm sorry for the confusion...
@TheQuinbox @BTyson Yeah. Mona's great
@Kaliah @TheQuinbox I should try it at some point. I kept meaning to then got busy.
