Potential Username System Change

One word for you, Discord: Don't.

Stop trying to fix what's not broken. Stop forcing new features no one wants. You've done it time and time again and I can only cancel Nitro so many times. QUIT IT. You are not offering your users anything that improves their experience; quite the contrary!

Your repeated poor decisions of late - namely, this username thing and your awful AI bot that no one wants - are REALLY driving my friends and I to abandon your client entirely.

EDIT from the next day:

Please refer to this post https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/14353614360599-Removing-Discrimnators-is-TERRIBLE-A-cybersecurity-long-term-user-perspective-?page=1#community_comment_14368756655383 for a more concise, eloquent explanation.

Also, I was informed that large games (Valorant, I think?) are switching TO a similar discriminator system. Clearly, it works better than the @ handle system. Moving away from that is pure foolishness.

EDIT #2: Oh! And another edit. I've already canceled my nitro. Everyone else should too, if Discord is going to continue to ignore its users. Everybody, let's start looking for a new messaging app, since this one desperately wants to turn itself into a social media site.
