Whatever you do, don't ruin the username system
Dear Discord Support Team,
I am writing to express my deep concern about the recent announcement that all users will be required to change their usernames to a new format that lacks discriminators. I believe this change will be extremely harmful to the community, as it will limit the ability of users to express their individuality and make it more difficult for people to connect with each other.
One of the great strengths of Discord has been the ability for users to choose their own unique usernames, complete with a discriminator that helps to distinguish them from others. This has allowed people to express their creativity and individuality in a way that is not possible on other social media platforms. By removing the discriminator from usernames, Discord is effectively robbing users of this ability to express themselves.
Furthermore, the new format for usernames is extremely limiting. By restricting usernames to lowercase alphanumeric characters and certain special characters, Discord is making it more difficult for users to create usernames that truly reflect their personalities. This will inevitably lead to a situation where many users will feel forced to adopt generic, uninteresting usernames that do not accurately represent who they are.
In addition to limiting individuality, the new username format will also make it more difficult for users to find and connect with each other. With so many users having the same or similar usernames, it will be more challenging to search for specific individuals or groups. This could lead to a situation where people become more isolated on the platform, which is the opposite of what Discord is meant to achieve.
Finally, I believe that this change is being implemented without adequate consultation with the community. Discord is a platform that has thrived because of the input and feedback of its users. However, it appears that this change is being imposed on the community without any real discussion or consultation. I urge Discord to engage with its users and seek feedback on this issue before implementing such a significant change.
In conclusion, I strongly urge Discord to reconsider its decision to remove discriminators from usernames. I believe this change will be extremely harmful to the community and will limit the ability of users to express themselves and connect with each other. Instead, I encourage Discord to engage with its users and seek their input and feedback on this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Peter '-'#0276 (hopefully, forever)

I want to point out that this is one of the most polite, respectful, and well-written posts on this topic.
Instead of targeting a system that is a non-issue (even for Admins/Devs, where there is a User ID system for bans and strike systems), please consider better integration between current Discord accounts and the support/helpdesk. Because I think it was highly unnecessary for me to make an additional account to add my two cents on this issue, especially since I have not and intend never to change my Discord tag.
Perhaps I'm just an outlier, but I would rather not fight thousands of other users for the username "SecondUNIT" like I've had to on several other platforms. I do not trust the fact that my account is 7 years old, and may have earlier priority over other users. The fact that I could makes this feel like a disingenuous system as well.
Please, make more effort to actually ask your community for their input on new features. No one should have to enable Dev Mode just to get an advanced notice that you're about to make a poor decision to integrate with Pomello.
I don't want to threaten my Nitro, but I will. I do not need it to continue to play with my friends, and if all else fails, there's always Skype or Teamspeak. I have stuck by Tumblr; I will hold onto my archaic internet practices.7 -
