Discord has previously handled usernames with a numeric suffix system, but this is changing

Discord users will be forced to say goodbye to their old four-digit-appended names in the next few weeks.

The company is requiring its millions of users to take up a new common platform-wide handle.

Historically, Discord has handled usernames with a numeric suffix system.

It allowed duplicate names, by then adding a four-digit code to the end of it – also known as a ‘discriminator’.

However, the company has announced it will be moving to unique identifiers that are similar to Twitter.

Co-founder and CTO Stanislav Vishnevskiy acknowledged the change would be “tough” for some people, but the company admitted the discriminators had proven too confusing.
