@jeffalo did a phenomenal job on username changing functionality - if you change usernames it also replaces mentions all over the site. Absolutely genius!

possibly. anyways im thinking of implementing a redirection system so old usernames redirect until someone registers the old one

Or if “what“ username was made in 2020 and he renames to “what??“ in 2022. If in 2023(ik its future lol), someone else registers that username, then

All posts made between 2020 and 2023 mentioning @what will redirect to “what??“

Posts made after 2023 mentioning “what“ (now the new user) won’t redirect
