I wish there was an alternative to leaving Reddit

I'm sad too. What's with these tech companies making the shittiest changes lately? I thought I'd be fine deactivating my Discord after their horrendous username change since I'd still have Reddit but now Reddit is going to become lower quality. I'll be active on here and Twitter since its fandoms are similarly, like Reddit, seperated by subtwitters (communities)

What was so bad about the Discord username change? I literally just dropped the number they had forced on me.

This won't work for a lot of people though.

I'm aware. Doesn't answer the question.

The bad thing is that people are forced to give up their username to make it a unique token with people they will never meet and care about.

Question for most people is: Why? Where is the good reason to force this upon everyone?

And even as a techy guy I have no clue to be honest.
