Discord Overhauls Username: Whats New?
The 4 digits number after each name is the discriminator between two similar usernames.
Now, this is going to be a matter of obsolescence, as Discords new username policy emerges.
TheDisplay Name, however, can be off-the-rack.
That means more than one user can have a common name as their Discord display name.
Not to mention, your old username will automatically be set as your Display name without the end digits.
For instance, the former usernameseekNdestroy#1205will transform intoseekNdestoryas the new display name.
Obviously, he referred to the old username structure.
But why is he considering it a liability orDebtin his word?
At the same time, another issue that I experienced many times, is that Discord username is case-sensitive.
For instance, to find your friendJoHn, typeJohn, and discover yourself in oblivion!
That is a big inconvenience.
So, Discord owns up to all these issues and barges in with a username update.

Forcing users to immediately change to a new name is technically challenging for Discord.

So, the upcoming weeks are when the transition will commence, as reported by Discord.

The whole process might take months to complete.

First in, first serve is the approach Discord will undertake.
It goes without saying, Discord brings to the fore the new username practice.
But how does the community respond?
Not exaggerating, but its anarchy!
Almost everyone despises the new changes in the Discord username.
The same trend is seen onRedditandQuoraas well.
From pointing out how awful Discords decision is, to threatening Nitro subscription cancellation has become a common response.
Though, Discords answer is they have considered everything before taking the big decision.
Redundant to say, in this write-up, Ive already reported Discords narrative on this.
From being a superhero, they turned into a super villain in an instant, just likeHomelander.
