Discord to Mandate Username Changes for All Users
Discord will require all users to change their usernames to a unique name following an "@" symbol, similar to Twitter and Instagram, over the coming weeks. The order in which people will be able to pick their new usernames will be determined by the age of their accounts - oldest first. Discord has made the changes to make the platform more accessible and user-friendly for both new and existing users. The online chat service has 150 million monthly active users worldwide and is widely used by people playing games but also to arrange group activities.
