#Evolving Usernames on Discord (TLDR no more 4-digit discriminator, new display name system)
shrewd dove
tired lark
So, we have to pick globally unique names?
The simplest solution for most people will be just picking their current discriminator, eg shan#6094

Discord:
Differentiating between Bob#1234 and bob#1234 was too hard
Also discord:
If you want to add Bob send a friend request to @therealbobdagoat98534

imo, should've stuck with the discriminator
distant locust
imo, should either have done this since the beginning or little after
I think they make a point when saying that the discriminator ain't easy to remember
but this is a very brusque transition

F in chat for Brandon#0001
Gonna be mine
but hopefully not! Discord needs to stop with their nonsense
They randomly changed their fonts and made people have to resort to betterdiscord just so they can read the text

My little conspiracy theory was that they just wanted to save space by getting rid of the hashes, but then they would lose more space from names getting bigger.
So pretty dumb decision, losing functionality to emulate others makes no sense in the long run.

it was a fun ride having hashes
good bye hashes, see ya
solemn sandal
who cares bro its discord at the end of the day it is what it is
Literally everyone who uses discord cares
These devs ae kinda shitty ngl
Seems like extreme nepotism for them to get first dips on the usernames when they stated that people who signed up for discord first would have first access
Changing something no one asked to be changed in the worst way possible
