So I want to know what all the effects of changing my Replit account name are. I know I can only do it once and must do it through the CLI, and don’t need help with that. What I would like to know is what changing the account name will mess up. Will I still have my followers? Will my @ mentions in comments be changed or will they become invalid? And I assume that if I am mentioned in a readMe.md file that won’t change. So, please enlighten me as to the implications of changing my Replit account name.

Dont know on Replit but here on Ask it wont change until you log in again
I’m wondering more about Replit than this forum. I don’t care much about my profile on this forum.
I got impatient and did it without an answer. You retain your followers, but all @ mentions anywhere are then immediately made wrong, even in comments, because it is linked to a now nonexistent user. I am now @CoderElijah in Replit. As @not-ethan said, you have to log out and back in again for these changes to affect Replit Ask.
@not-ethan You said you knew how to change the account name on Replit Ask. Did you mean username or can I actually change my @ to match my Replit one?
EDIT: I just didn’t think that through. I logged out and back in to Replit Ask and it is updated here too. Thanks for the help!
Your username is your @ on discourse. Feel free to add it to the guide. How do I change my username?
I understand everything now. Thanks for your help!
