I don’t get their motivation behind this change. I mean I read the write-up they posted, but I don’t get how they could seriously think this is a better experience for users.
Their blogpost was complete gaslight, none of the points they listed made any sense.
It was literally just look more like a mainstream social platform, there are rumours of an IPO...
Epic, another shittification speedrun?
it's a better experience for corpos that want their brand name to be uniquely identifiable.
they still haven't given me the option to "update" my name yet lol
It's based on nitro but also how old your account is. I don't have nitro but joined in 2016 and got a message to update mine last week
"try adding numbers"
It HAD numbers, you picked those numbers!!
I still don't understand why people are so mad at this.
Before you were forced to have numbers in your name and now you get a choice, the numbers aren't forced on you.
Isn't more choice better?
yes, but people like to complain.
