Yeah it’s a clever hybrid but that doesn’t mean that it’s without its drawbacks. I’m not really trying to argue one way or the other, but I do think that there are tradeoffs between using a universally understood system for something this core to the product vs. a custom, albeit clever, solution. |

It was "custom" in 2010. When StarCraft 2 did it. Discord launched in 2015.
"I cannot parse the idea of a username without an @ in front of it" does not suggest that such a person will be more receptive to Discord when @'s are added. On the other hand, I've already canceled my Nitro subscription because I had it for the novelty name and a 200-server limit that I'm no longer using.
