Please don't remove the username number discriminators
As so many other people are saying here, the number discriminators are far better than requiring unique names.
They give you better control over who can add you or search your discord account.
Forcing unique names will result in names with numbers on the end anyway.
Common usernames will have thousands of people forced to change the name they've been using for years.

Agreed. this change seems like a very bad idea

They're genuinely acting like it'll be useful when it clearly won't, and as you said, there will be numbers added on the end anyway if usernames aren't unique, it's absolutely pointless, but discord is doing it anyway just so they can fit in with other social media.
We have user IDs unique to us anyway if all else fails so I really don't get this choice, no one asked for it, no one wanted it, but they've shown time and time again they don't care, and it's so frustrating.13 -

I second this. Discord always stood out from the other social media apps with this feature and now they’re trying to fit into the now norm that the bigger companies have set. This would be a great hit to Discord’s authenticity, and simply annoying for us users. As said above it’s purely pointless, and it will only make my time and a lot of other users’ time spent on the app worse

Tags are iconic to Discord and without them you can have SOOO many less unique usernames, and you can be found so much easier

This.
Reading their reasons for changing the system don't feel real. I've talked to my friends and none of them say that they've had difficulty with adding people on discord. And having case-sensitive names along with the number discriminator gives the user much more control over the people they can have added. This change along with other changes feels like Discord just wants to become more like other social media sites.8 -
Personally don't understand why Discord has come out with this all of a sudden, don't think it's anything that's going to take off or be received well among users, especially ones that know their username and discriminator by heart, and yet I feel like this is going to be forced on users whether they like it or not.
Going into idioms, it's like reinventing the wheel. There's nothing wrong with it in the first place, so why change it?
Despite not being a nitro user myself, one could argue that the current system as it stands right now would grant more customisability and uniqueness compared to just a username.
I've not had problems with adding people on Discord either, they're usually specific enough to if they have capital letters in their username and more often than not have the good grace to not have incomprehensible characters in their username.
So yeah, there's my two cents on that matter. I'd rather not have this new username system in place and I'm certain that I'm not alone in holding any of these opinions.

Yes, Please don't remove them I really like the level of Security, secrecy and that I can change my name to anything at any time without having to worry if that name is taken or not. Please do not take it it has become iconic and a part of the community!

Many individuals in South Africa often turn to the SASSA Status Check to monitor their application progress. Whether it's a general SASSA Status or a more specific query like the SASSA Status Check for R350 grants, people rely heavily on these updates. Moreover, for those who face challenges or discrepancies, the SASSA Appeal process becomes crucial. It's essential to stay informed, especially when dealing with financial assistance. The intricacies of SDR SASSA and the various nuances of SASSA SRD further emphasize the importance of understanding and navigating the system effectively.

If the idea was to fit social media norms, so people can put their discord user link without the #numbers, the solution could've been to allow unique id tag to nitro users, and/or members of the “creators” program.
