There's one thing about this I don't see brought up - if someone says "add me, I'm janitor#0832" people usually know they're talking about Discord since that format is ubiquitous, and that's a very valuable thing. They're destroying that and moving for something like "add me, @janitor0832" - which then needs to be qualified (Twitter? Instagram?). Bing tried so hard to become a verb and Discord is discarding something they already have that's similar

What a great point! I've even seen people simply post 4 numbers before, and people get what they mean.

This is truly an awful decision.

4 digit discriminants aren't unique to Discord. Battle.net also uses them.

I have a 5 digit battle.net discriminator number.
