If a person or a group needs a unique username, then give them the #'less version of it.
Outside of that, the issue isn't a problem.
For a community based platform like Discord it's valuable to let people have the name they want and if that means people make typos from time to time, then that's necessary.
- rocqua 3y agoThe problem is that discord users think they know their username, but they don't. Most people know their phone number, those who don't, know that they don't. I don't think this is a big enough problem, but I do see how this can be a problem.
- Aeolun 3y agoIt can’t be that hard to add a ‘find your user name here’ link to every place where one would potentially use it. Do you really want people braindead enough to not figure that out on your platform? I don’t, and certainly not if their incompetence inconveniences the existing users that make the platform what it is.
