@dan_spix And of course, usernames are still important as a means of finding and addressing people. That’s why we display both.

@dan_spix Nothing broken about them. We still show both wherever we can. But we use the more human form wherever only one can fit.

@dan_spix Yes, but you’re now in a minority of users. A growing majority now have usernames that they don’t recognize, nor represent them.

@dan_spix It’s rare that a network grows beyond 100M users. Think about email – how many of your friends are known by their email address?
