Feature Request: On user sign-up, your profile should not use your email address as your name by default.
Description
After having a Mozilla Discourse account for a year or two, I just realized on sign up it will default your “profile name” to be the email that you signed up with. I’d imagine for most users this would not be behavior they want, I can’t think of any other sites that publicly show your email address on signup, by default.
Other Discourse servers
I have a couple Discourse accounts with other communities, I’ve never noticed this default behavior before. So, that makes me think it might be something that can be disabled. The profile says “name” is optional.
Today
I checked the “latest posts” and it seems like this is still the default today on Mozilla’s Discourse forum to default your profile name to your email address.
Impact
Content on the Mozilla Discourse server shows up in Google Search, this will include user email addresses.
