What do you mean by complexity? How is using any other solution less complicated?

Discord's UX feels quite bad. It's overwhelming and readability is bad. That'd be my biggest complain when it comes to "complexity".

Never heard this complaint ever. I would argue all other solutions that are usable for the majority of people have much worse UX.

My thoughts exactly. It's one of the most overloaded and confusing UIs I've seen
