What's bad about discord?
The app has gone absolutely down the shitter after they decided it should mirror other shitty apps instead of the desktop experience. Desktop I'd argue isn't as much worsened, but there's still annoying details like the omnipresent gift button.
The new UI on mobile app is awful. Less intuitive, slower and buggy. I don't know how they did this, but sometimes it takes even a few seconds to switch between views (eg. from servers to DM)

None of those have such a bad UI, if you think those are bad then you probably never had to use atrocious apps for work!
Sounds like Stockholm syndrome if you ask me. Reddit UI is definitely terrible, especially on mobile. YouTube and Discord are marginally better but seem to be busy trying to find new ways to make it worse every other week.
Spotify should also be on that list BTW.

YouTube isn't even following material design 3...
The one competition I can win against all big corporations
The competition in making the worst ui?
Yes
Discord's UI is bad?
Discord user of 5 years, use it daily, I've had the update for a week or more, and I'm still fumbling with buttons to find what I'm looking for. It's really badly done.
There was recently an update to the mobile app that was very poorly received
One button left called "Watch Ad" and it spans the whole screen.
Honestly discords UI is pretty good its just weirdly missing some features entierly.
I've been using Discord since 2016.
I just found out on Wednesday that you can group servers by dragging and dropping them on top of each other to make a folder.
Makes me wonder how many of their quality of life features there are that most aren't aware of.
Does this mean there's also a way to independantly change voice volume and everythign else volume within the app rather than having to re-do it in windows volume mixer every time I start my PC?

If the aim is to drive users towards brainless engagement with arbitrary content, they're great.
But for UX they're dogwater.
Github's ui can honestly be pretty goofy sometimes. I feel like I'm navigating the website for the first time every time I use it, which is multiple times a week. Where's that setting? Which settings panel is it in? Where do I find that repo that I contribute to but don't own?
