Even though I got "pussyslayer69", I still miss the "#6969" :'(
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.
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...
Epic, another shittification speedrun?
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.
it's a better experience for corpos that want their brand name to be uniquely identifiable.
Can't you just add the numbers back yourself and set a displayname without it?
I wish revolt was more popular smh
They recently added display names while keeping the tags as a direct 'fuck you' to discord lol
I frankly have no idea why you would prefer it over Discord other than open source access. Revolt dissuades from self-hosting, is non-federating, has no stable business model and lacks in features. It is a prototype for a future where Discord catastrophically burns down.

To be fair, between Twitter and now Reddit, it’s not exactly a bad idea to have alts and backups lol.
they still haven't given me the option to "update" my name yet lol
It's based on nitro but also how old your account is. I don't have nitro but joined in 2016 and got a message to update mine last week
I thought about trying tobdo mine with the pound sign followed by the original numbers but oddly MacDougal was available still so i ran with it
