“try adding numbers”
It HAD numbers, you picked those numbers!!
They even let us pick the numbers! That’s why I got Nitro originally! I’d have never paid for years of nitro without that feature, in fact.
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…
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
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
Can’t you just add the numbers back yourself and set a displayname without it?
Screw them. They use snowflakes anyway so what’s the point
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.
