A better idea for the username change.
As someone who has a “rare tag”, it’s going to be annoyingly painful to see someone else take that username in the upcoming update because they have access to the update quicker than I did, or anyone else did who wants to keep their name. It’s also annoying to me that people keep it permanently unless changed. There are a lot of people with the same names out there who’ll have to change it to a different alias because someone took their name first. What’s also unfair is that the people who have had their account longer than others have first dibs on the feature which is highly unfair as well. I’ve had my #0001 tag for 3 years now, and I feel like people who have the #0001 tag should automatically have rights to their username first because they are simply 0001, AKA the FIRST in line. I’m pretty well known on discord and my friends know me for that tag. I don’t want to have to go by another username/name because someone random took my tag unfairly. You guys should already automatically change everyone’s usernames to the tag that they have. EX: “hello#0001” would automatically get the username “hello”. Instead of someone with a 2015 account stealing it because they had first dibs. Not everyone was on discord during that time which makes it super unfair. Let alone, us Nitro users are paying $10 a month to keep our precious tags too! Some of the old discord users aren’t, which like I’ve said many times makes this new change VERY unfair.
ALSO: You guys would lose a TON of money because people are only paying for nitro for their DISCRIMINATOR TAG! If you remove it, there’s low chances people will pay $10 to use emoji’s and stickers. They’ll just resort to the $2 nitro and there goes half your income.

the 2$ nitro? nah, no nitro. No more nitro from any of us. I'm not even going to use Discord anymore.
I suggest you pull nitro if you have it, and encourage your friends and associates to drop their nitro subs as well.

Before I get into why your point is completely invalid (feel free to check out this thread if you're curious), let me ask you a very simple question after taking into consideration that the current usernames are case sensitive (read more here): Let's say there is a Sick#0001 and a sick#0001. According to your logic, both would have the right to receive the @sick handle. But which one would actually get it? You see, the logic is not exactly logicing here.
Every Nitro subscriber, whether they've had the #0001 discriminator or not, has been paying just as much as everyone else (except for those subject to regional pricings, but that's not the topic here). So why do you feel entitled to receive a username before other Nitro subscribers? There is no reason why you should be treated better than others.

this absolutely makes no sense at all. your #0001 tag is NOT special. YOU are NOT special nor original. allowing older accounts to choose their usernames first is completely justified since they actually used the platform earlier than u. youre not better than them because youre "the 1st". also who buys nitro just for the tag? the tag is such a little gimmick i refuse to believe someone sane actually spending 10$ just for it. ALSO, how do you plan on assigning usernames to people with case sensitive names? should @phibi be given to PhiBi#0001 or phibi#0001? the solution is either doing it based on account age (which is literally done rn???) or adding another character (number) to the username, which defeats the whole purpose of removing discriminators. you clearly havent thought about this change at all and youre just mad that you have a common name. its not that big of a deal.
