Discord didn't listen...

PLEASE READ: The reserved username list is in a weird spot. I'll make an updated video on it but as of now I wouldn't assume some Discord corruption if these names go on sale. (If I had to guess, I think the list either shows some names from the complex and ambiguous reserve system OR some of the names on the list got dropped due to the bot username changes). It's confusing as heck and I'm trying to stay on top of it.

Also, it seems like Discord’s automatic system banned a whole bunch of people who checked the pomelo endpoint (checked username availability). Thankfully this was quickly reversed and people got their accounts back.

It is a good warning though that if you are going to muck around with discord stuff, use an alt account.

Maybe if ppl were a little more creative with their usernames there wouldn't be a problem. You wouldn't believe how many UNs I see that have wolf, dark, fox, gurl, etc.

This system is a direct downgrade and their excuses for implementing it are just plain stupid.

I'm happy that I got my name and I dont have numbers exept a" _"

See personally I disliked this update at first but I got my username so I kinda like it now lol

Evil has won unfortunately

It is currently November 9th and I have still refused to change my Discord name and still carry my medal of bravery in the form of a 4 digit #

Why does this video have 5 likes

I think that the update is fine, most socials work like this

at least i got the clean @joycondrift tag out of this

you'll kinda be forced to put more numbers if you have a popular username, making it even harder to remember than the tags system, its stupid

I was lucky enough to be able to get something relatively close to what I wanted. I wanted to use Candycorn, but that obviously wasn’t happening. I wont be saying it here, but I added only 2 symbols and it worked.

I just want my tags back bruh😭

SAN FRANCISCO EARTH 4.0 MAG EARTHQUAKE

oh wow big deal who cares

They will change it back 10 years later as a new feature

I Got My Username

i lost my username of 5~ years because of this change and what sucks is the person mad their discord after me

i pity you if you play hypixel skyblock

people named gary:🐌=🗿 🧑=🤓

I think about the users it is kinda hard to find friends discord user by using the # and numbers so I’m happy with it

I think the mention of this being a vocal minority is untrue, to say the least.

I've been using discord since 2015, extremely open. I've never once even visited discords forum. I didn't even know there was a forums, and I'd be incredibly surprised if a single person I am friends with, has ever used the forums, or even knows about it.


IMO 11k upvotes would signify a majority, not a minority. The comparison should be towards the forum users, not discord as a whole.

My new user name is the same as before, but I changed the # for an _
Yes, I'm keeping the 4 numbers in it, I mean 3737 is a nice number

I still haven't updated my username to fit the new system and I plan on holding out for as long as possible.
They have to force me to change if they want me to use the new username system.

the best thing you can do: dont change your username from the discriminator

quick fix and protest i do is putting _0000 at the end of my username, increases the chances i get my username, and protests against the change

I didnt get it and im pissed

I somehow never knew this was a thing. I keep getting the pop up for switching my username to the new system but have just ignored it all this time so I still have the # in my discord name. Now I'm going to keep it till it forces me to switch my username lol.

I dont particularly care. I got my Username. It makes it easier to add friends i guess but the numbers were annoying to me so i couldnt care that much.

I hope every single member of that discord server got atleast 2 years of jail.

So now we're back to VRC adding EAC bs but now it's discord... how thoughtful of them =)

Or don't change it lol

Ill never change my username cuz f lowercase letters also the # and the numbers come from a steam name so no im not changing it i want the people of the discord to know who it is and which account its for

so far as the only mcfrikrick this update was fine in my opinion

question how the hell do you add peoples that aren't in servers you know since now THERE ARE NO NUMBERS and if peoples hide it you cannot remember

I managed to snatch up the Hideo Kojima username lmao

Everyone whos name is Mike will soon have a battle royal over who gets to keep the name Mike, let the best Mike win in this... Ultimate showdown

God yeah it's so frustrating when you can't have a username because 10 000 people already claimed it. MUCH better to have a system where you can't have a username because 1 person already claimed it. Obviously

And every day Discord reminds me to change it to the new system. I always click „remind me later“ wonder how long I can keep this up…

Don't send discord death threats thats low and doesnt go anywhere.





























Send them a pipebomb

My alternateaqua user was saved and I'm very happy about it, but still I believe a lot of people would lose their names for being generic

Thanks for the shoutout my guy 👍

I don't understand the problem with unique username if you can then be displayed as any non-unique username as you have shown with the 'Garry' example
