I don’t get their motivation behind this change. I mean I read the write-up they posted, but I don’t get how they could seriously think this is a better experience for users.

it's a better experience for corpos that want their brand name to be uniquely identifiable.

Their blogpost was complete gaslight, none of the points they listed made any sense.

It was literally just look more like a mainstream social platform, there are rumours of an IPO...

Twitter, Reddit and Discord in the span of one year? Great...

Edit: sorry to be Reddit-pedantic but it's enshittificarion

Oh good, Discord is gonna blow itself up. Maybe we can all go back to Mumble and IRC once it’s all over.

I don't find the previous system even difficult to navigate. I guess Discord is looking IPO since standard usernames are easier to digest or something...
