“try adding numbers”
It HAD numbers, you picked those numbers!!
I don’t get their motivation behind this change. I mean I read the write-up they posted, but I don’t get how they could seriously think this is a better experience for users.
Their blogpost was complete gaslight, none of the points they listed made any sense.
It was literally just look more like a mainstream social platform, there are rumours of an IPO…
Epic, another shittification speedrun?
Twitter, Reddit and Discord in the span of one year? Great…
Edit: sorry to be Reddit-pedantic but it’s enshittificarion
Oh good, Discord is gonna blow itself up. Maybe we can all go back to Mumble and IRC once it’s all over.
it’s a better experience for corpos that want their brand name to be uniquely identifiable.
I don’t find the previous system even difficult to navigate. I guess Discord is looking IPO since standard usernames are easier to digest or something…
I wish revolt was more popular smh
They recently added display names while keeping the tags as a direct ‘fuck you’ to discord lol
I frankly have no idea why you would prefer it over Discord other than open source access. Revolt dissuades from self-hosting, is non-federating, has no stable business model and lacks in features. It is a prototype for a future where Discord catastrophically burns down.

To be fair, between Twitter and now Reddit, it’s not exactly a bad idea to have alts and backups lol.
Even though I got “pussyslayer69”, I still miss the “#6969” :'(
I thought about trying tobdo mine with the pound sign followed by the original numbers but oddly MacDougal was available still so i ran with it
Try revolt. I’ve used it, and it seems like a great alternative. They recently added the numbers, lol. https://revolt.chat
I barely got my username with one character change.
Thankfully I have unique enough username(brand name)
Can’t you just add the numbers back yourself and set a displayname without it?
they still haven’t given me the option to “update” my name yet lol
It’s based on nitro but also how old your account is. I don’t have nitro but joined in 2016 and got a message to update mine last week
oh my old discord account was banned a while back so I had made a new one lol. I guess that’s why. I also don’t pay for nitro.
Yeah me neither actually. Everybody I talk to had to tho lol
yup I see a lot of people with it already
I still don’t understand why people are so mad at this.
Before you were forced to have numbers in your name and now you get a choice, the numbers aren’t forced on you.
Isn’t more choice better?
yes, but people like to complain.
