Do Not Implement Username Update
The reasons for the username update are inadequate and Discord loses some of its best boons with this. By implementing this change, you are doing three very bad things:
- Removing the ability for non-Latin language users to have a username in their language (basically, any language that does not use 7-bit ASCII such as Arabic, Japanese, etc)
- Creates username scarcity
- Encourage "username squatting", aka allows the potential for people to steal the usernames of high-profile individuals who use Discord
Do not implement these changes. You are alienating so many people with this.

the way that they acknowledge that this change takes away something that makes discord unique and makes it ever closer to Yet Another Twitter Clone is something that bothers me so bad - theyre fully aware we dont want something that makes discord stand out to just be changed to fit the "status quo" so the fact this is even being considered is. ugh.

Tired of discord ignoring its userbase, they need to shut up and listen to the people who use the damn app for once fr fr.

Agreed! I don't know anyone who wants this change

you are absolutely correct. Cancel nitro if you have it; unsub and cite this as the reason.
