It solves the awareness problem by making them choose it when they create their account. If you need more, you can have a fun little animation that presents the finalized username + discriminator after it's created. Or show them how to add Tom from Myspace. I figured the "busy usernames" issue was a truly trivial problem solved by making the discriminator a 0 to 5-digit alphanumeric. Because the discriminator would be chosen by the user, it would only be as cumbersome as sharing a normal username or email. What I felt discord really needed was a way to send an invite link to be friends.
