The discord user complaints rose exponentially after the switch to RN, and almost all users felt a perceivable difference in the quality of the new apps.

Hehe, I guess I was too late to party to experience the good ol' days.

It has a good rating in app store today. Better than Slack, even. And although there are probably many reasons for that, atleast RN hasn't killed the ratings.

this is quite normal when you do a full codebase refactor, even if you didn't switch technologies it is like comparing a 5 year old codebase with 1000s of man-months ironing bugs out with a 1 year old codebase with 500 man-months of work

Seems like the bigger problem is their QA department than their engineering decisions
