Stefan Bohacek<p>Following up on the last boost, and I don't really want to get into the whole Bluesky vs fedi thing, but I am curious about how folks feel about the different approaches to handles/usernames.</p><p>Personally, I like the "X of Y" style.

GayCookie :verified_gay:<p><span>Exciting news! </span><a href="https://mis.ski/tags/Discord" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Discord</a><span> is making changes to their usernyame system by removing discriminyators and introducing new, unique usernyames ([at]usernyame) and display nyames. This means that sharing your usernyame with friends will be easier and you'll have more control over your identity on Discord. </span><b><span>New usernyames are lowercase, alphanumeric, limited to certain special characters, and do not have discriminyators</span></b><span>, making them easier to remember, read, type, and share.
