>The nice UX makes it easy for everyone to use

Maybe I'm just old and grumpy, but am I the only one who finds the UX to be atrocious? Everything seems to a nondescript icon that rarely represents what it's supposed to do, nearly everything is flat so it's hard to tell what you can actually click on and whats decoration. Everytime I use it feels like an exercise in mental gymnastics just to navigate it.

Have an example? Everything I click on has some action I can do.

I'm 40 and grew up on mIRC, Discord feels a natural evolution with all the new features.

I mean... 90% of the UI is just text. The only icons are for the server images and some minor ones like emojis in the text input. Have a specific example?
