During years, Discord usernames have had a particular structure that has given more problems than joy, Well, according to Discordalmost half of friend requests end up going to the wrong person because of this formatting problem.
Currently, usernames have a structure where our name is practically free, and next to it we have a discriminator in the form of four numbers, so that each variant of the main name can have 10,000 clones differentiated by the discriminator.
To make matters worse, the names are case sensitive, so that verbally it can be very complicated to transmit our username to a friend of ours and for the friend request to arrivesomething important in a voice communication platform.
That is why Discord is going to use usernames of the “at” type, in the same way that we can find in other social networks such as Instagram or Twitter, where each username is unique and we will not have so many problems. However, it is true that the transition period can be complicated if 10,000 users have to compete for the same name, so we will have to see how this turns out.
