“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.
it’s a better experience for corpos that want their brand name to be uniquely identifiable.
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…
Oh good, Discord is gonna blow itself up. Maybe we can all go back to Mumble and IRC once it’s all over.
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
lets all be real. non-unique names what makes discord real discord and what also eliminates unique name marketing or targetting
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
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.
