The UI/UX is a convoluted mess. Whenever I say this elsewhere I get downvoted to oblivion and people tell me you just gotta learn it.
Well, yea, that’s the problem. I shouldn’t have to “learn” a UI, things should be apparent and obvious.
There’s not even a useful intro the first time you launch it. Yea, it shows you what the buttons are for, but never explains the concept behind things. Guess you’re supposed to intuit that stuff?
To your point, though, the learning process ideally ought to be seamless and linear; each new thing you can do with the application should be mostly obvious given what you already know about the UI, not force you to learn everything from scratch or do work to learn it (unless you’re into that kind of thing). I don’t think Discord is the worst offender of this rule, but they could make it better.

What do you mean? Having three seperate settings buttons with options divvyed between them makes perfect sense
Counterpoint: vim is very well liked for it’s UI, but there’s a very steep learning curve.

I’m still stuck in vim, please send help.
