A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

TL;DR usernames in the new system are more like friend codes than usernames; Discord should treat them as such

They auto reserved each username based on account age and how long you've been subbed to Nitro as a tie breaker; but that info was buried pretty deep in like one of the announcments. With special exceptions for ""influencers"".

Ahhh, I see. I had read that they were rolling the change out based on account age but must have missed the bit about the username auto-reservation. thanks!
