But they went in order of sign up, so if they had used this model from the beginning those users still wouldn't have been able to get that username.

Not necessarily true. Celebrities and Nitro subscribers also got early picks, and it isn't like they wait for each person one-by-one: you are in a bucket with others who might get to your preferred username before you.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
