That’s fair, there were probably other workarounds for my use case. But there may also be other problems, different from mine, caused by the naming system (?). Playing whack-a-mole with all those problems, assuming there are more, may not have been worth it vs this major one-time friction.
Just kinda theorizing at this point; I have no stake in this fight but find the decision really interesting
Then again I don't use Discord to directly chat with people. And if I wanted to do that, why wouldn't I just make a new server or invite them to one I have. And do that simply by sending a link.
Actually, if adding other users is the issue, why not allow them to make custom links for that purpose. Something easy enough to remember if they do it all the time.
