Discord username

If you're a Discord user, you're probably going to be forced to change your username very soon

It's a decision that could have been taken years ago, but Discord has finally decided to change its odd policy on usernames.

The gaming-focused social chat platform has long forced users to put up with name that end in a four-digit "discriminator", but this is coming to an end. Discord has announced that the four digits at the end of usernames are to be removed, and this means that many users will be forced to choose new handles.
