I've never really though about this aspect, it's been easy for me but that doesn't mean it is for everyone. Most people I added over the years where already on Discord so it was as simple as clicking the invite button. Never had much trouble IRL too because they were pretty active on Discord and knew their discriminator, or I would simply give mine.

Even if I'm still a bit sour about the change, I can totally see why it would be easier for most people.

Anyway, my initial comment wasn't to bash you or anything. Clearly, my exemples weren't the best. I now have better outlook on this username change. Thanks! 🫠
