This could be compressed into "I think Github made a good change."
Pretend that there is a different set of people complaining about this change than the last one, and that common to both sets are people who don't think either are good.
The feed is still there, but imo it’s not the default thing many people wanna see when visiting the dashboard. I understand that people want the feed, but this weird social network thing isn’t really the true purpose of Github in 2026, and I would bet Github has the data on that and decided that what people really want to see when they first open .com is the status of their own work.

Maybe we aren't at the bottom of the pile of trash, but we are still in a pile of trash. It's a page that, objectively speaking, doesn't work like it says it does. Things simply do not work. This isn't a "I don't like it" problem. This is the page literally says one thing and does the opposite.
And yes, it "seems" to push your issues and PRs as the main items of the page. Keyword there is seems. Nothing on that new page helps me work on the projects I'm working on. But there is a PR I opened for my project back in Jan still open on that page? And more importantly, no way to resolve it from that page?
No real developer designed this. It's trash. Maybe not the bottom of the heap, but it's still trash. I'd be ashamed to put this out.
> but the last iteration had Copilot at the top
It still does. And for some reason, when you start typing, you aren't typing in that chatbox. Instead... you start typing in search even though search has a / to type there.
It's bad. It's really bad. And so much wasted space. I'm sorry, but expect some level of quality. Don't just accept trash that literally doesn't work.
They removed the old "feed" many years ago, still prefer seeing what cool things others are interested in. It's been a deteriorating platform since Microsoft acquisition (imo)
If this is the new default, can we get rid of the blue dot in the top right now?

Complaining might work, but continuous complaining is tiresome.

A list of tasks I'm already behind on is the last thing I want to be reminded of constantly.
