> @opendesktop I 'm thankful for this fantastic platform where I’ve been a member for 7 years. A few years ago, I changed my username to ful1e5 across all my social and online accounts. Now, I’d like to update my username on this platform too. However, I couldn’t find the option to do so. Could you please assist me with this? Your help is highly appreciated.

I would like this feature request as well.
I have unfortunately created my account through GitHub and the system automatically decided to append “1” to my username without asking.
If “Avasam” is already taken, I’d prefer it be consistent across my other socials and changed to “Avasam06”
