i like how most usernames on discord are already taken so you end up having to put numbers at the end of your name anyway. if only there was already a system in place that allowed people to have the same name but there was something to differentiate them like number discriminators
this is because it was not actually about the discriminators. discord lied about how many people struggled with the previous system because, in actuality, it was some higher-up types that didn’t get it. there was some theorising somewhere that the change is ti facilitate datamining, which would make sense as there’s no other reason to try to make people this perfectly identifiable.
btw as it stands they’re not allowing ppl to ever change their users again so DO NOT pick a bullshit name hoping you’ll get your preferred name later. once it’s in use, it’s not fucking available.
so far, the main thing to do is to reach out thru discord’s support page to tell them how bad a fucking idea is, stop paying for nitro, and have a look at this support thread, which has insanely comprehensive information sources. there’s a change.org petition somewhere in there, too.
but yeah. tl;dr the “nobody understands discriminators <:(” is a distraction.
id really recommend people read the support thread linked here if you have the time. if you think this username thing is just people being upset over nothing then the support thread will inform you of the concerns people have
