TL;DR usernames in the new system are more like friend codes than usernames; Discord should treat them as such

    They auto reserved each username based on account age and how long you’ve been subbed to Nitro as a tie breaker; but that info was buried pretty deep in like one of the announcments. With special exceptions for ““influencers””.

      Ahhh, I see. I had read that they were rolling the change out based on account age but must have missed the bit about the username auto-reservation. thanks!
