I'm dumb as fucking bricks brother, I have no idea where you're getting this idea that people think they're fucking geniuses for recognizing the Vatican flag. Saying it's the Vatican coat of arms is also redundant, because I imagine the cross section of people who don't know the Vatican flag and the people who don't know that the Catholic Church has an official country is rather large.

Even if you didn't intend it, your target audience for your joke extension became people who know of Vatican City and not its flag, which likely isn't a small amount of people; however, including the line "that's the Vatican coat of arms" makes the delivery worse for people who know of Vatican City and its flag, which sours the joke, and still excludes people who don't know of Vatican City.

Who the fuck is recognizing the coat of arms, that's the full ass Vatican flag brother

Ain't a lot of flags with only piss yellow and white

I've always liked having personal chats in the servers section. The notifications were much more clear, as the chat would always pop up to the top, and navigating to them was significantly easier as every area for messaging was easily accessible through one motion.

The UI is generally better and separating personal chats isn't a deal breaker for me, but the new app is buggy in ways that actively impede my daily use, such as search filters not working over the full server in the default search bar, and the structure for dms makes it much harder to go seemlessly between talking in a server and talking with a group of friends in a dm or sending a message to someone. Swiping out of DMs to servers has much more friction, and switching between DMs takes significantly longer and is incredibly glitchy, sometimes trapping text boxes in a different chat, opening the conversation well above where you were actually talking, and many times it simply will get trapped in one dm and I need to restart the app fully to use DMs normally again.

I generally use significantly more DMs than servers, talking with my friends in groups of 3 or individually and having one or two servers for large communities of people. As such, the significantly shittier DM experience on mobile is making me want to use discord significantly less on mobile.
