    you’ll need an admin to do it for you (many won’t know how, and many will be unwilling)

    It’s 202fuckin6 , should be beyond possible for username changes on user level , fact AP platforms do them this way in current year’s archaic . Some technical limitation ? Oar just nobody figured out how to implement it yet ?

      Afaik it’s a limit of how the protocol works. (This is speculation) They tie your whole account to your username, instead of some back end identifier, so it’s not as easy as making account number 7826457(at)domain.com present as a different name, it would have to change the whole account, and copy all of the information over, and then delete the old account
