Really not a fan of Discord rolling out a new username system. I thought the old one was neat. Now I see my friends having to put up with modified usernames because someone else grabbed theirs first.

@Gargron honest question:

what happens if someone tries to register as a new user? Won't they be able to register the new username, skipping the line?

EDIT: nevermind, just tried and got an username with discriminator

@falcon

This migration is said to be performed on those who signed up earlier first. I assume that once every last user gets their fixed username (if name is occupied, they get one with numeric suffix), new registrations can take the name without additional popup.

It's still shitty how they've handled existing users...
