Twitter's UI is bad IMO

So recently I got onto twitter to see this:image.png.fdd985f4e74b5e559f19a1b82f06492e.png

 

Going to be honest here this was a mistake on Twitter's end. I did use it for a little while but ended up just HATING the new UI. It is not good looking, it is not "modern", it is not good in function. Would I change Twitter's UI? Yes, and I will, later (when I have time). But Twitter should know that this... this thing is not a good design choice.

Yes, it is very bad, and it's very sluggish, but that's what one would expect from Twitter. It looks like it's from that period of time when tablets were just getting popular and web designers would try to make everything converge really badly? Anyway, as an almost-aside, Twitter is rubbish, it's designed in a way that encourages and rewards negativity, so I don't really mind UI changes like this pushing me further away.

How did you get that UI? I've never seen Twitter like that before. I just re-checked, and I don't get it on mobile app or via desktop browser, either legacy or new UI modes.

It's just the tablet version rebranded as the "new" version. This trend of ruining designs just to please touchscreen users is just ridiculous. I still have the "old" version, but they're going to force it on me sooner or later.

I use TweetDeck mostly nowadays but sometimes I'll end up having to use the website ?

Its a new ui you can check out in your settings, you can use the new or old one.

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

The image in the 1st post is neither the old or new one that shows for me.
