The UI is getting worse, as they overload existing UI elements with new functionality. On mobile, they replaced the "recent mentions" button with a "stages" button (I don't use stages), making it harder to look for recent mentions just to promote their Clubhouse clone. On desktop, they replaced the "upload image" button with a button to open a "upload image or create thread" menu (I find Discord's implementation of threads to be half-baked, threads expire quickly unlike forum threads, you have to pay to reduce expiration, and they override server-wide mutes). You have to double-click to skip the menu.

Not to mention stuffing their UI with payment prompts left and right, showing emotes you can't use in the emote menu, replacing useful screen estate with "get nitro" and "boost servers" buttons.
