You've acknowledged that people transitioning is a huge motivation to change username, and yet say you aren't convinced. Why not? What's the benefit to not allowing usernames to change?
- logicallee 7y agoif allowing a change in username, do you think you should or shouldn't make visible a list of past usernames somewhere?
- lilyball 7y agoPeople change usernames because they don't want to be associated with their old username anymore. We shouldn't force anyone to retain that association unless it's overwhelmingly in the public interest to do so. On sites with open user registration I can't think of any possible justification for that. It's only sites with closed userbases where you'd even be able to begin arguing for this, and even there I don't know what argument you could use that would justify it.
