Remove discriminators in favor of unique usernames

Problem

Currently, usernames include a numeric discriminator (the “#xxxx” suffix). This makes usernames harder to remember, share, and recognize. It also reduces the feeling of having a truly unique identity on the platform, since multiple users can share the same visible name with only numbers differentiating them.

Proposed solution

Consider removing the public discriminator and requiring fully unique usernames instead.
