First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

    Oh right, that change. I personally didn’t think that was a big deal. Instead of having Username#1234 now you might have Username_1234. What am I missing?

      It’s one of those “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” kind of changes. It’s just a weird one to suddenly push onto a platform, especially when the previous solution is better in every single way

        True. But I can somewhat understand why they’re changing it. When they started working on Discord they probably didn’t think it would blow up the way it did. The use of the discriminator is probably a bit confusing for some less tech savvy people. And @username has pretty much become the standard everywhere 🤷‍♂️
