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.
it’s a better experience for corpos that want their brand name to be uniquely identifiable.
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?
Oh good, Discord is gonna blow itself up. Maybe we can all go back to Mumble and IRC once it’s all over.
“try adding numbers”
It HAD numbers, you picked those numbers!!
They even let us pick the numbers! That’s why I got Nitro originally! I’d have never paid for years of nitro without that feature, in fact.
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 ;-)
https://github.com/mayudev/revcordBut thanks, exactly what i was looking for!
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 barely got my username with one character change.
pomelo moment
they still haven’t given me the option to “update” my name yet lol
Yeah me neither actually. Everybody I talk to had to tho lol
yup I see a lot of people with it already
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.
I thought about trying tobdo mine with the pound sign followed by the original numbers but oddly MacDougal was available still so i ran with it
I still don’t understand why people are so mad at this.
Before you were forced to have numbers in your name and now you get a choice, the numbers aren’t forced on you.
Isn’t more choice better?
