The discriminator could be circumvented by having searchable IDs like on Steam. Steam has accountnames that only you know and you must not share as you login with it. accountname password The username on your profile. MTF-8 Frank The user ID that you can link your profile to others. https://steamcommunity.com/id/userid A friend code that can be changed. 1231412312

I like this idea. I think in the context of fluxer, we already have our snowflake user id's so this could work. However, I think those who are pushing to remove discriminators probably would not find this to be a satisfactory solution.
