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.
"try adding numbers"
It HAD numbers, you picked those numbers!!
Try revolt. I've used it, and it seems like a great alternative. They recently added the numbers, lol. https://revolt.chat
Even though I got "pussyslayer69", I still miss the "#6969" :'(
I wish revolt was more popular smh
They recently added display names while keeping the tags as a direct 'fuck you' to discord lol
Do you know if it's possible to:
- Somehow add Discord Servers to Revolt? Like a bridge in matrix to whatsapp for example?
- Add Bots / Webhooks like Discord? I have multiple servers and setup alerts that use a discord bot.
I don't really use bots and stuff much, but there's Revcord on github to bridge between discord and revolt
Correct name, wrong link ;-)

But thanks, exactly what i was looking for!
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.
Can't you just add the numbers back yourself and set a displayname without it?
pomelo moment
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
oh my old discord account was banned a while back so I had made a new one lol. I guess that's why. I also don't pay for nitro.
Yeah me neither actually. Everybody I talk to had to tho lol
yup I see a lot of people with it already
