Username change is just absurd at this point

Hey Discord your name change is just absurd at this point. You want us to add numbers? Should we all try numbers? What an innovation! Just try numbers! If only there was a way to discriminate between usernames.
You literally had a system that worked and now you've changed it to a disaster.
You took away discriminators (Numbers!! Who would've thought of that!) and now people have to add them back themselves anyway. There is nothing stopping you from rolling this change back except maybe the ego of a select few amongst the developer team (as stated in this post archived because the original was apparently deleted by reddit).
Why does the "vision" of a small group have to ruin the platform for everyone?

This made me actually laugh out loud. :'D

This is so true...

we'll make it easier! we will cancel the unique identifier so that you can have the same user name as the display name, or have it set to your liking without the ugly and long number after #.
Oh, but only one person can have this nice name. Why not put in a nice 4 digit number for that name because it's already taken.
yeh.... BiG BraiN TimE.3 -
I really like the way you put this! I want to support your quest by adding my sauce:
I am lucky that no one else goes by my alias... BUT
I don't like the fact that I can't even use capital letters. I don't identify as tindahood. I identify as Tindahood! smh
P.S.
Account stuff is sketchy here anyway. I wanted to comment and was hoping that I could simply use my Discord account. No indications that I couldn't! BUT NO! It's a different Discord account...
(I know seperate accounts for service and forum is not unusual... why though?)
On top, during sign up they catfished me into giving my real name. I regretted right after seeing it on the dashboard. Found the good button and changed it. It was still there! Clicked the button once more and the dialouge prentended it was Tindahood again! (I see you sneaky mechanism!)
I also had to change the Alias and now it's displaying Tindahood. But they still have it, I'm sure! >:I3 -
@Tindahood I had the same issue with signing up for the support site at first! Doesn't help that it says nowhere you have to sign up again separately. Luckily the name thing didn't happen to me but ough that sucks!
With all those updates and changes happening recently, from the unwanted and rushed username change to the kind of shady sounding planned AI expansions, it just seems like Discord is drifting more and more towards unreliable :/
