Can someone, like. Explain the Discord name change thing to me. Because as far as I can tell it doesn't even make sense on the standard Enshittification Timeline? Like, it:

  • doesn't seem to provide any new functionality that users were requesting. They're just going from one system of name uniqueness to another
  • making this change would have required non-trivial amounts of expensive dev time
  • it's already pissing off a large amount of their userbase who are justifiably worried they might lose their preferred names (or, in the case of users who don't use Latin characters in their names, are CERTAIN they're going to lose their preferred names)
  • it doesn't contribute to user growth in any way I can identify
  • it doesn't contribute to monetization in any way I can identify

Like. I'm less pissed-off than I am BEMUSED at this point. Who wanted this? Why?

Discord has saturated the market of "people who can type numbers" and wants to branch out to "people who cannot type numbers" because that is a market that definitely exists and will use Discord. It's part of the standard enshittification timeline in that it's a move in the direction of Discord eliminating what makes it unique and (at least in principle) attractive to its existing userbase in an attempt to be the universal chat platform for everyone everywhere so we can expect it to start shriveling up in the next few years as people abandon its increasing gray-wallpaper-paste-ness in favor of new chat apps. Discord has already been taking on useless features from eg Slack so this actually seems pretty in-line.

I'm sure there's a perfectly logical harebrained reason for it.

Like... maybe some Microsoft lackey will explain to us how the new name changes were super necessary and actually super great, because now that they've removed the dreadful legacy code, you'll be able to sync your Discord to your Microsoft OneCloud365 Exchange Calendar
