      "now your friends don't have to remember a 4-digit number" yeah because "it's miscreant but with a 4 instead of an A and a K instead of a C and there's an underscore on the end" is so much better

          also lol @ "usernames are case insensitive and forced lowercase" if they're forced lowercase they're not case insensitive y'all

            @devolore Isn't this just saying that they're moving to the same system as Twitter/IG/TT/etc? Usernames have to be simple/unique in most places.

              @Celestalon yes, they are making an unnecessary change to a worse username system

                @devolore I can definitely see arguments that Discord/bnet/steam style usernames are better than Twitter/IG/TT style. I don't think that's clear-cut to me. I'd say I like the later slightly better. But I definitely agree that *changing* to the other style is a huge hassle, not worth.
