Helpfully, Discord has added, above your friends list in the messages tab, a new feature where the avatars of four random people you don't actually fucking talk to are displayed really big in giant rounded rectangles. I have not yet figured out how to turn it off.
@mcc oh no have they rolled out the new layout they've been trialling for a while?
it sucks. apparently it's not as bad on iOS, but jfc on Android it just *sucks*.
edit: s/sucks/sucked, apparently iOS and Android are now roughly in parity. still dislike it, but hey, at least Android isn't arbitrarily worse!
