The difference in affordances between "everyone has a number attached" and "somebody who isn't you doesn't" should be obvious. My username on Discord is "Ed#1234". My username will not be "@Ed". That sucks, the change isn't my choice, and I've canceled my subscription because they're removing the one feature, as much of a vanity thing as it is, that I liked enough to give them money. (This isn't an invitation to well-actually-that's-illogical about it. I could not care in the slightest if you think it is sufficiently lesswrongish to be valid. They're changing my username out from under me. That sucks. They have lost me as a customer.)
