They're taking something that works, and screwing EVERYONE late to signup. The fact that I've had the same contact information for years, and it's about to be taken away, is infuriating beyond belief. I have 492 friends on Discord right now. I'm not going to know who ANYONE is as this changes. There's no 'note' of an old name, or transitional period. It's on ME to make a note for everyone and then individually go through my list to find who I want to message. There's not even a vague consideration for transition AT ALL here. This is a hasty bad decision made by old men, not by engineers, or even people that actually use the platform on a daily basis. How would you feel if you paid for Gmail for years, then suddenly they say you're going to be forced to change your email address. Or your phone number, the phone number that you've had for years. The way that everyone reaches you. Now you have to pick a new number at a random time based on when you signed up for the service. MAYBE you'll get lucky with a similar number, and you can get it to ALL the people that need to be able to contact you, but don't forget, they're forced to change their identity too! You get no choice in the matter. To hell with your social links, business cards, code with contact info, videos with contact info, and anyone who knows you by your username. Now I have to play the world's worst lottery to hopefully get a similar name, before someone else takes it. I'm beyond upset. I'm enraged and fully disgusted. This is the worst decision that's come from them since I started using the service in early 2016.
